exteral login page no errors are displayed

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I am using a redirect link to an external login.php on my Mikrotik hotspot. The radius server error messages( ex: maximun session reach for this username) does not get trasfer to the exteral login page.

Can someone help to resolve this problem ?

Thanks

Here is the wiki I wrote on external login pages.
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/HotSpot_external_login_page

Insure when the new login.html page in the router forwards the data to the external server, it sends this value

<input type="hidden" name="error" value="$(error)">

and you use it on the new login page.

Then you need to do a bit of troubleshooting. Use this as the login.html page in your router. Check all entries to insure it is passing the values to the new page, especially the error value. My apology in advance if I introduced any errors into this page during the edit.

<html>
<head><title>...</title></head>
<body>
$(if chap-id)

<form name="redirect" action="http://xx.xx.xx.xx/logintest.php" method="post">

What version of RouterOS are you using?

7

5.26

I can’t help you there. All my routers are v6.x. I have no router to test that.

The only suggestion I can offer is upgrade to the latest version. If you still have that problem, maybe the Mikrotik crew can help you. They have been really helpful with my problems.

I presume you have the radius debug logging enabled. If not, that is helpful in debugging RADIUS responses.

/system logging
add topics=radius,debug action=memory

i have webproxy enabled do u think that can be the problem ?

11

No. The web proxy works on port 80. The radius servers work on ports 1812 and 1813.

ok tks i will upgrade and see how it goes ..

Hi guys,

Is realy necessary to have a RADIUS server to the external hotspot work?

14

If you mean an external hotspot login page, no. It will check the local router database first (/ip hotspot user), then a RADIUS server if you have one set up.

I’m tring to use this manual " http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/HotSpot_external_login_page " to create a web loging page but isn’t working, any thought?
