Hello mfred,
It is just the same things I want to achieve here in my university. This is captive portal (hope this is good translation)
For that, I had to use chillispot, apache2, freeradius and ldap. I think, please correct me if freeradius is only able to do the whole thing ..., Freeradius is just a piece of the puzzle.
- apache2 host the webpage for authentification (a cgi script) (using ssl) - chilispot use vtun in order to take control of your network interface plug to your wireless area (and thus redirect you to the apache page for authentification if you're not !) - freeradius handle the authentification and accounting using our pre-existing ldap directory listing all the users (teachers, students ...).
I have written a complete howto that I'll post this afternoon or tomorrow (needs typo correction) to chillispot forum. I can send you the draft if you need. (I hope freeradius can't do the stuff so that I'm not making ads for anotyher system :D). Don't forget the wiki.freeradius.org site.
