Description

Multiple issues with Captive Portal vouchers:

1. Sync of the voucher configuration doesn't work because in /etc/rc.filter_synchronize the configuration area is labeled "vouchers" when it should be "voucher"

2. When a voucher action is taken, a PHP stack trace appears on the secondary:

First is an easy fix, second looks similar to #7953, just need to track down exactly where it's happening.

Actually #1 is not valid because that section shouldn't sync that way. That typo breaking the sync in that direction is the only reason it was working before.

A missing global declaration for $config in the sync code on the secondary is why the config/rolls didn't show up on the secondary as expected. It was also causing the error from point 2. I added some safety belts to it as well.

Tested in Current Base System 2.4.2.a.20171110.1037

Still produces Errors on Secondary after testing expired voucher

Updated by Dejan Milojevic about 7 years ago

Master and slave servers still do not communicate 100% properly in relation to expired/active vouchers and do not update each other consistently upon expiring the ticket (on demand).
