    Hi,

     

    Im trying to create my own External Captive portal that will communicate with my Aruba W-3500 controller adding/authenticating users from our Hotel PMS system.

     

    I have setup my controller to redirect me to my test Captive Portal webpage and have added the XML-API server ip to the configuration however i am recieving an error back from the Controller after trying to add a user.

     

    The error i am getting is 

     

    <aruba>

    <status>Error</status>

    <code>8</code>

    <reason>missing message authentication</reason>

    </aruba>

     

    I am sending :

     

    xml=<aruba command="user_add">

    <ipaddr>10.21.6.227</ipaddr>

    <macaddr>e4:8b:7f:85:ae:7b</macaddr>

    <name>testing</name>

    <role>authenticated</role>

    <session_timeout>9999</session_timeout>

    <key>MyKey</key>

    <authentication>cleartext</authentication>

    <version>1.0</version>

    </aruba>

     

    I have tried moving the authentication line above key (and then it returns a different error) and also changing the authentication type to MD5/SHA-1.

     

    Does anyone have any insight or ideas on why its giving me this message and how to fix it ?

     

    Thanks

    Is the XML-API server attached to the AAA profile you want to deal with?
