Different DHCP Pools based on User

Good evening,
in a wifi setup we almost had the same requirements (the networks to choose from
where a bit different, but that's beside the point).

What I did was to save an ip-pool name with the user attribute in the radcheck
table
(https://wiki.freeradius.org/guide/SQL-HOWTO-for-freeradius-3.x-on-Debian-Ubuntu).

So now it looks more or less like this (at least the view creating it):
+----+----------------+--------------------+------------------+------+
| id | UserName       | Attribute          | Value            | Op   |
+----+----------------+--------------------+------------------+------+
|  1 | fredf          | Cleartext-Password | wilma            | :=   |
|  2 | fredf          | Pool-Name          | vpn              | :=   |

Then the pool name gets logged to radpostauth (you have to alter the query to do
so). The dhcp module then queries radpostauth for the last successful
authentication from the given mac address and now has the pool-name to work with in
the dhcp-ippool module.


Best regards
Thore

P.S: You might have to sanitize the mac address depending on the vendor of the
wifi hardware.
