I have Radius Manager 4.0 and am setting up a hotspot. The Radman setup with integration to Netcash works 100%. My problem is with the walled garden entries to allow clients to reach the buyias.php page and then authenticate to Netcash. It seems as if all port 443 traffic is blocked. if I change my path from https to http on Radman it works, but not on Https. Can anybody help??

Hi,


Did you check with this?

Hi satish

It was not ticked but Ihave done so. Problem persists. Page not available on https but available on http.
Any other ideas??

I don't think using login-by=https is the way to do it. Besides, you would need a SSL certificate installed.

The https protocol causes some strange problems with the hotspot walled garden. The hotspot uses dns cache to determine if the request should be allowed. The problem is some payment sites, like PayPal, use the dns as a form of load balancing, and the TTL on the resolution is very short, like a minute or less in some cases.

I use authorize.net, and they do not use dns as load balancing, so I use both the domain in "/ip hotspot walled-garden", and the ips in "/ip hotspot walled-garden ip".

So I will suggest the same approach for you. It appears that netcash does not use dns to load balance. Try this: www.netcash.com resolves to 204.232.134.236

Thanx for that Tim,

I have got it sort-of working by following that. 0 D ;;; gateway.netcash.co.za
hotspot1 allow 0
1 D ;;; gateway.netcash.co.za
hotspot1 allow 0
2 D hotspot1 allow 0
3 D ;;; acssb.bankserv.co.za
hotspot1 allow 0
4 D ;;; 3dsecureprd.fnb.co.za
hotspot1 allow 0
5 D hotspot1 allow 0
6 D allow 0
7 X ;;; place hotspot rules here
allow 0
8 hotspot1 gateway.netcash.co.za 443 /vvonline/ccnetcash.asp allow 0
9 hotspot1 www.tns.radius.co.za /radiusmanager/buyias.php allow 0

The only problem remaining is that once the authorisation has been requested, the accept/decline does not get back to the Radius. It hangs on the Netcash page after 3d secure/verified by visa has been completed.

Got it sorted. Thanx to eben at Cape Connect

Hi

Can you post what you done to overcome the problem? I have the same issue, only thing is i just opened port 443 which works but i got some unwanted traffic coming through as well now.

Cheers

Hi guys

Does anyone of you also have the issue where the client(s) don't receive the username and password screen after the purchase but they got charged for the voucher from netcash?

This happens 10% of the time to me, and its irritating as ****
