This is exactly what Coova does. It blocks all access to the network, until a correct username/password combination is made. The downfall to such a system is 1. No encryption, and 2. Any somewhat-knowing script-kiddie can spoof a mac address and hijack someone's session. On Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 5:54 PM, Sergio Belkin <sebelk@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
Currently I'm using:
*OpenWRT Kamikaze in AP's *Freeradius 2.1.2 *LDAP
End users either use ttls or peap on their notebooks, as I have a LDAP server, each use his username and a password.
Problem with this approach is that is somewhat complex for end users, they must either install a software or do a complicated configuration (think in end users terms, please). I'd want to have a open wireless network and that each user access to captive portal and enter his username and password, that captive portal "redirects" request to freeradius and freeradius in turn queries to ldap server.
I'd want to know if CoovaAP (or something similar, what?) can perform such task as portal captive installed on APs.
I'd be glad to read suggestions
Thanks in advance!!
