Description

Hi PFSense-Team!

We run PFSense at around 200 locations and we are using voucher and captive portal intensively. All locations do remote syslog of its voucher auths.
We upgraded two locations to 2.8.0 (APU HW from PC Engines).
After the upgrade, logging has stopped working. No local file, no remote syslog.

Testing this on 2.8.1. I'm unable to recreate this bug report. When connecting, I get an authentication message, as expected.

Hi Kris,

just upgraded two systems from 2.8.0 to 2.8.1: Same result, no captive portal authentication logs ... see attachments.
However, even with 2.8.0 when you turn off authentication, logs are recorded (fursty4.jpg). When you turn back to local database (=voucher), no records at all ...

Best,

Volker
