Hello, I have a access point that is connected to a chillispot server, which then communicates to an external freeradius server. I have a mysql server also on the freeradius server. I am just tyring to figure out how this is all working. When a wireless client comes in they are unauthencticated users, which will be redirectedto uam homepage, located on the external radius server. The user is then brought to the hotspotlogin.cgi. Then the username and password are sent over to the radius server to check to see if the user matches the user in the mysql database. If authenticated, then the radius server sends a packet back to chillispot, saying yes accept the user, and redirect them to a web page that I specify. (is that correct?) Does the user remain connected to the freeradius server, since the pop up window that comes up is from there anyway, or is it chillispot that is then taking over. Which server is actually allowing the user onto the internet? I am thinking it is chillispot since that is handling dhcp. In the database is a table that is used to allow open and close time, that the wireless is avaible everyday, wouldn't that mean that the user would have to remain connected to the freeradius server? thanks, jon jon
