Captive portal redirect to a FQDN instead of the XG interface IP (for matching HTTPS commercial certificate)

Guys, I found a workaround for this. It's working for me.

My box XG450 (SFOS 17.0.5 MR-5) 

Navigate to

1. Authentication > Services > Web Policy Actions for Unauthenticated Users (Captive Portal)
2. Change "Login prompt method" to "Display a custom message"
3. In the textbox enter below text
   <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
   window.location = "https://gateway.mydomain.com:8090/";
   </SCRIPT>
4. Click Apply

That's it enjoy. Ensure you have a valid HTTPS certificate uploaded to the UTM. Above method is working for me.

Hi Charles,

I have tested your method, it worked!

You guy genius~

But there is something need to do.

The FQDN recorder for XG needs to point to internal private IP address but not outside public IP.

Thanks for the method~

Hi ShunzeLee 

• Create a "DNS host Entry" in your UTM or in your DNS server
• Change your system DNS server IP to UTM or DNS server IP

That's what I did.
Thanks~

There will be an option  in v17.1 to allow you to use hostname rather than IP.  It will use the hostname configured in the XG.

By default, the XG does not create a DNS entry for its own hostname.  You will have to create a DNS host entry (on the XG or whatever else you are using for DNS) and then you can point it at whatever IP / Interface you want.

Will this also include the Guest User registration pop-up?
