| Description | This article explains the possible misconfiguration that caused the captive portal to show up twice. |
| Scope | FortiOS, FortiAP. |
| Solution |
A Captive Portal Disclaimer SSID in FortiGate refers to an SSID (Wi-Fi network) that requires users to accept a disclaimer or terms of use before they are granted network access. When a user is connected to an SSID and accepts the disclaimer, the same disclaimer appears again.
This happens when the Disclaimer is enabled on the SSID configuration and the Firewall policy.
config wireless-controller vap edit "fortinet" set passphrase ENC xyz set captive-portal enable set portal-type disclaimer set schedule "always" next end
config firewall policy edit 3 set name "AP" set uuid 810e8fe0-58c5-51ef-29e5-15cd9ca38e14 set srcintf "fortinet" set dstintf "wan1" set action accept set srcaddr "all" set dstaddr "all" set schedule "always" set service "ALL" set logtraffic all set nat enable set disclaimer enable next end
To fix this issue, the disclaimer needs to be disabled on the SSID or the Firewall policy.
