WiFi reconnection attempting
Hi List, - Is anyone know if there is a way to limit the number of attempts to reconnect on failure Wifi authentication (in Windows or Wifi access point) ? - Or limit the logs in Freeradius radpostauth ? --> I tried with a sql condition but I think it's a little heavy. Also it's not very logical to limit the logs. Thanks. Nicolas CLO Industrial and Network Technician

RADIUS only comes into play when the auth *is being attempted*. So if you want to prevent that, you indeed need to look at the AP or supplicant. I guess it's possible on some APs to "ban" a MAC address after a number of failures. However - that's off-topic for this list - you didn't care enough to tell us which Access Points you are working with So don't expect useful answers.

Nope. That's an issue between the AP and the WiFi client.

I would suggest tracking the number of connection failures per user. If a user has too many, skip the "sql" module in post-auth. You should be able to track the connection failures in a database field. FreeRADIUS isn't a database, and doesn't actually store anything. Alan DeKok.
