Can freeRadius do that?
Hi, I just want to know if freeradius server can do what I want to deploy in my environnement. I want to deploy freeradius to taking care of security and authorization for my wireless network. What I want to do is like many hotel in my country. The user open is laptop with wireless capability, is automaticly connected to the wireless network but if he want to use the internet connection, when he first run is browser, he's automaticly redirect to an authentification page that ask him a username and a password. So is it freeradius who's handle this or another software or combination of software. Like a freeradius server and a proxy or freeradius with third party software. Can someone help me with my interrogation. Thanks a lot ---------------------------- Guillaume Chartrand Technicien informatique Cégep régional de Lanaudière Centre administratif, Repentigny (450) 470-0911 poste 7218

See Chillispot or CoovaChilli. What you want is a "captive portal". Alan DeKok.
I'm using freeradius, with CoovaChilli, and a Squid Proxy (to reduce internet traffic). Works a charm Tim Alan DeKok wrote:

Wich AP do you use. Do you know if Cisco AP or D-Link AP is supported by CoovaChilli without modifying firmware APs. Guillaume Thank
Works a charm

For me what you describe is an open wireless network with a transparent proxy that aythenticate users on its default redirection page. This authentication could and should be made with freeradius in order to have fine grained accouting. Solution could be something like squid + radius_authenticator + freeradius. I think you can use apache-mod-proxy and PAM, so that you can avoid the use of squid but I'm not sure about it.
