<p class=MsoNormal>Good Afternoon All;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Currently my institution allows for registered users to
create guest accounts for visitors to enable wireless access for the guest
users (Wireless access is controlled via Captive Portal/PAP with a Kerberos
Directory backend). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Registered users create the guest accounts using the guest
users eMail address, such as Jdoe@gmail.com jdoe@hotmail.com etc etc etc.
This poses a slight problem though as the "@" sign is a reserved
character for Kerberos and thus principles with the "@" cannot be
created within our KDC. To solve this problem the account generation
application substitutes the "@" for a "+" (so
kerberos principles are created in the form jdoe+gmail.com jdoe+hotmail.com).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If guest users remember to sub a "+" for their
"@" all is well, however often times people forget this and get stuck
wondering why their username jdoe@gmail.com is failing when they have been
assured all is well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>To completely eradicate this situation we would like to
place a Freeradius instance in place of our proprietary radius solution and
have it perform the substitution during authentication, so neither the Guest or
registered user need concern themselves with the whole "@"
"+" thing (so from their standpoint the principle is jdoe@gmail.com
nice and easy... for them ;) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have been trying to determine the best way to accomplish
this and would greatly appreciate any ideas as to how this may be completed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you much.<o:p></o:p></p>
