    Hi guys,

     

    I am configuring a Guest SSID in Bridge mode on fortigate with external captive portal authentication on aruba clearpass.

     

    The redirection to the captive portal works correctly and the user credentials are sent with HTTP Post méthode to the FortiAP.

    The issue that for some devices and some browsers, the authentication works and credentials are recieved and processed correctly by ClearPass, However, on for other devices devices, authentication does not work and credentials are sent to FortiAP but they are not recieved by Aruba Clearpass, and the user is redirected again to the captive portal.

     

    Please, does anyone encountered this problem?

     

    Best regards

    I don't know those FortiAPs, but what you describe looks a lot at that the client tries to post the credentials to the AP, but there is no valid HTTPS certificate (not trusted, wrong name/fqdn, addressed on IP instead of fqdn, expired or so) on the AP. Some clients may ignore that, other clients reject to post credentials or connect in that case.

    Maybe others have seen the same and know how to address this?
