Re: Problems regarding MAC address authentication

["Shobhit Jindal" <shobhit.jindal@ece08.itbhu.org>]

ldap queries are working fine, below is the log..

Plz just explain the overview of how to enable mac address based authentication where all the three parameters (uid, userPassword and radiusCallingStationId are matched from the ldap database)..

PS: A paper presentation contest is to begin from tomorrow (www.prastuti.org) in our college.. I will be highly grateful if i could provide wifi access during the event... (at present am doing auth based on uid+password and need to extend it to mac address).. plz help

ldap_initialize( ldap://10.9.1.250 )
filter: uid=ashimece
requesting: All userApplication attributes

  See your LDAP documentation.

  Run LDAP queries by hand until you get the result you want, and then
configure the server to use those queries.
