Captive Portal in Public Wi-Fi and https

[itenghm]

Hello all,
I have this problem with Captive portal, I have configured it depending on the documentation. I have a problem when opening https pages, the captive portal is not working and the page doesn't load, but when opening http pages the captive portal works fine. 
I cannot tell all users in a public Wi-Fi network to open non https pages first so they can be redirected to the login page of the captive portal, and it is not possible to ask them to install the SSL certificate
Is there a workaround to solve this?
Thanks

I tried many things still not working with https, has anyone a workaround for this

just a shot it the dark. if you use a real ssl cert instead of a self signed  the  public wouldn't have to install a cert. it would be trusted.

I know there are a few places you can get a free 1yr cert. (don't have a link offhand) its worth a shot. other option is godaddy there certs are cheap.

this will not work because you cannot redirect the host (your certificate is not valid for other domains than yours). But the connection to the login page would be trusted.

I have used a trusted ssl certificate.The https captive portal page works perfectly and users are able to authenticate.However, after authentication, accessing regular https websites timeout
