Mikrotik Radius -- Accepted but can't login via hotspot page

I’m stuck and have tried everything I can think of.

I have my radius server (freeradius2) accepting a valid user/password from the login.html page. Though the debug log on the freeradius server says that the username/password combination is accepted, the portal page (and mikrotik log) point out that the RADIUS server did not respond.

Am I supposed to implement customizations to use radius and authenticating hotspot users?

Do you have the radius logging enabled? This puts much more in the log than the “no response” message.

/system logging
add topics=radius action=memory

You might want to increase the radius timeout also.

/radius
set X timeout=600ms

Default is 300ms.
