Hi All,
I want to set my users to login once only until their package expires,
say a user buy a one day package, along that day if the user leave the network and return to the network will not need to enter username and password, or at least a long lease time,
i am using freeradius with mikrotik, tried to set idle timeout, keepalive and session timeout, but still users will need to relogin after few minutes leaving the network and return
please help and advise
tks
did you try to add “cookie” in login-by and http-cookie-lifetime=1d in hotspot profile?
yes, i tried adding cookie, but still it doesnt work,
i am wondering if its some attribute that i need to add on the radgroupreply, any idea?
it is only possible if you open site on the same page / running page / refresh that page
to counter this i used logout page ( status ) where log off button available, i used that to log out & closed the broswer
so when ever user open new broswer page it will ask for login 
its work for me.. try once
samir, what i want is the opposite of what u said, i wanted people to login only once,
I am working on a similar configuration for a customer.
My idea is to have cookies for 12h and sessions for the same time, without idle or keepalive timeouts.
This means that normally an user doesn’t need to autetichate for the whole day (it’s for an office, so 8 am to 8 pm is enough), but in case something changes the use has just to open browser to any site, it is automatically redirected to login, the cookies makes the magic and he logs in without need to reauthenticate.
I’ll use two profiles: 12h (that I name “one day”) and 1w1d (that I name “one week”). Who has the “one week” profile needs to authenticate every morning, but not during the day: this is the design. Using longer values for sessions and cookies can cover longer periods, but for the “one day user” this will mean he ca connect the second day, the third and so on until cookie expires, so i set them to the same value as the smaller amount of time i’ll give to a user. The 12h trick can be sufficient for me, but I could even set values to 24 hours and delete cookies and active users by script during the night.
What can break this plan is if the ip address of the user changes, for example if dhcp lease is too short. I’ll set it at 12h.
I have some more test to do, but as for now it seems ok.
I don’t use openradius, so I don’t know if there are any specific attribute tu set.
I have made a voucher for in which a user can surf the internet for 12hrs. i have set the HTTP cookie lifetime to 12hrs and MAC cookie time also for 12hrs. But the user can login again next day due to cookie. In log it says “trying to login by cookie, logged in”. How do stop this to happen again. How do i make it a one time login for 12hrs only?
Anyone have solve this problem. I have experiencing the same
thanks
