Hi,

I have set up a captive portal on the Fortigate. Everything works fine except the fact that MacBook running even El Capitan (latest versions) as soon as they hit the login page and they put user/pass, the page hangs. This happen only on Safari, in Chrome in the same machine where Safari was hanging, everything works and I can login.

Ideas?

thanks

So you are telling us that only Mac OSX El Capitan with Safari can't use the Captive Portal......

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

You could look at the Source Code of the Captive Portal and check what the new Safari can't display correctly and change the page.

Thanks for your reply. That is not correct. Even with earlier versions i am experiencing the same issue. Support is looking into this, also other colleagues that are using MACs are telling me that this is a known issue with Safari with any Captive portal (i.e. a lot of people cannot access airports networks because Safari tend to hangs on login page)
