i got weird issue when activated HTTPS on hotspot option. people complained that they got "Untrusted Certificate" if typed https domain in url (for first redirect to login page). it showed that dest domain certificate use our SSL certificate , any idea how to fix it ?

any1 had experience bout this issue ?

This happen due to the interception of the https connection to facebook. Technical it's a man-in-the-middle "attack" and the router is presenting it's own certificate and the browser is doing what it should do when this happen: show a warning.

yes i know but how to fix it ? is it any way to use HTTPS in hotspot login without got that issue ?

Unfortunately there is no way to "fix" it. if you find a way to "fix" it you find also a way to "hack" https.

Maybe if you explicitly send a "511 Network Authentication Required" HTTP status code?

Some older browsers will still have the same problem, but at least new ones may follow the redirect.

just wondering if we can force https => http when in unauth position.

As the http-request is send after the SSL handshake is done i doubt that a browser will its request if it gets an invalid certificate during the handshake.
most probably it terminates the tcp connjection once it's "unhappy" with the certificate.

Hi;

I have a similar problem. Mobile phones hotspot page does not open. especially the iPhone. A workaround solution yet?
