Hello.

With the help of this forum i installed the eap-controller software on a raspberry pi 3.

But when i want to configure the authentication-type "facebook" i always get the error-message: fetching failed.


I made a new page in my facebook-account as it is described here:
https://static.tp-link.com/2017/201711/20171117/Configuration Guide for Facebook Portal (EAP Controller).pdf?configurationId=2960

I think, that all settings were done right.

Click on "Configuration" opens a new window, where i must login to my facebook-account. On the next page i choose my page and made some other settings. But when i finish this, the eap-controller won't get my facebook-page.






Does anyone know, if there is something else to do???


Thx,
maddinla

1. To get the newly developed Facebook Portal feature, make sure that both of your EAPs andEAP Controller are upgraded to the latest versions:
EAP: The latest version which supports Facebook Portal.
EAP Controller: V2.6.0 for Windows and V2.5.3 for Linux

2. You may try to set up Bypass Mode as Require Wi-Fi mode.

Hello Carat1.

I think, that i have the latest versions on the EAP330 and the EAP Controller-Software.

As you can see in the picture from my first post, the EAP Controller-Software is 2.5.3 (Linux - on a Raspberry Pi 3) and here is the Version from the EAP330:



This is the newest Version i can find on TP-Link Downloadpage.

I tried the settings as you shown above, but without success: fetching failed again...

???

I'm having the same problem.
I'm using Omada Controller 2.6.0 for Windows, tried with different web browsers, but I always receive the same error.
I updated my EAP115 v2 to v 171011, the latest one available.
Is there any beta version available for testing purposes?

Cheers

That solved my problem!!! :)
Thanks...

I always use Firefox and tried to do the configuration-thing with MS Edge - and that's it...

Hope, that someone else has solutions for your problems...

I've just tried with Google Chrome 65.0.3325.162 (64-bit), Mozilla Firefox 57.0 (64-bit), Microsoft Edge 41.16299.248.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.309.16299.0, but I'm always getting the same error:
fetching failed.

What else have you done, Maddinla?

...nothing else.
Firefox 59.0.1 (64-bit) won't do it, but with Edge 41.16299.248.0 i can get my facebook-page.

Don't ask me why....

I suggest you can log in your facebook-account, when you click on "Configuration". And then??? Can you do the seetings as Carat1 mentioned?

I don't use facebook at all and only got this dummy-account to try facebook-authentication. Do you manage your facebook-setup like it is shown in that Configuration Guide from my first post??? Perhaps you haven't setup a real adress for your page?

....?

Hello maddinla!
Thanks for your reply!
First of all, I'm not a "Facebook heavy user", but the account I'm using has a everything right(address is correct, etc).
I've tried every single way, including yours and carat1's infos.










Is there any beta firmware or controller version available for testing?

Thanks

Sorry, i don't know, if there are test-versions...

But for me this authentication-method is not what i had hoped for. Thought that the facebook-names of the users are shown in the guest-list so i can block unknown users. Wanted to give free Wifi to friends/guests at home but not to people around my house...

For me this thread can be marked as "solved" but i don't know where to to this...



Maybe someone can fix your problem.

Hi @maddinla 

 

I am getting the same issue. I already updated the firmware for the controller and APs, however is still failing.

 

APs Firmware

2.6.1 Build 20191022 Rel. 42463

 

Controller Firmware

1.2.1 Build 20191126 Rel.59455

 

Reviewing the browser's console I see the following warnings and errors:

 

[Deprecation] Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/.

 

Do you know how can I apply the settings successfully?

 

Thank you!
