Hi,

 

No matter how I try the Captive Portal wont work at all.

The traffic never gets forwarded to the web page, only blocking traffic.

 

Anyone got some setup examples?

Mostly fortiwifi setups to find online.

Applied them to my wired setup but it doesn't work.

 

Regards // Jimi

    Hi ,

     

    Did you tried this ?

     

    Configuring disclaimer page for ethernet interface captive portals

    While you can customize a disclaimer page for captive portals that connect via WiFi, the same can be done for wired connections. However, this can only be configured on the CLI Console, and only without configuring user groups.

    When configuring a captive portal through the CLI, you may set security-groups to a specific user group. The result of this configuration will show an authentication form to users who wish to log in to the captive portal—not a disclaimer page. If you do not set any security-groups in your configuration, an "Allow all" status will be in effect, and the disclaimer page will be displayed for users.

    The example CLI configuration below shows setting up a captive portal interface without setting security-groups, resulting in a disclaimer page for users:

    config system interface

    edit "port1"

    set vdom "root"

    set ip 172.16.101.1 255.255.255.0

    set allowaccess ping https ssh snmp http

    set type physical

    set explicit-web-proxy enable

    set alias "LAN"

    set security-mode captive-portal

    set snmp-index 1

    next

    end
