just want to ask if somebody tried already on how allow/configure redirection of external captive portal through fortigate running fos 5.6.2.
network is quite simple ISP-->PFSense---->WifiLAN. We just simply replaced the pfsense box with fortigate and replicate all the polices and default and static routing as needed. Now guest users mobile/laptops able to connect to broadcasted ssid however it took so long to display Captive Portal page in order the guest users authenticate through AD/LDAP Server. Their Ruckus Wireless controller was integrated to LDAP/AD Server.
Tried the ff links below without success.
