Multiple Locations and configuring 2 different methods of Access

[Jaco van Tonder]

James,

What gateway are you using? 

Do you want to allow authentication on some sites and other sites to be
“free”? If so you can just set the free sites up do not perform
authentication and just allow users access
.

Regards

Jaco van Tonder

we are sterring away from the original question here. if there is a way 
to setup RADIUS to somehow send a message or configuration attribute to 
the gateway to allow any clients connected to the gateway to access the 
internet without extra authentication aside from simply connecting to 
the gateway itself?
    

  The short answer is to read the documentation for the gateway
software.  If it says that the gateway can do this, AND it can be
configured through RADIUS, then it SHOULD say which RADIUS attribute,
and what value to use.

  
That's exactly the part that I cannot find an answer to Alan, that's why I
posted here to see if anyone has anything related to this. That's all the
help I will be needing from you , Thank you for your time.


now lets keep in mind that there are multiple locations here and
therefor are multiple gateways, all I want to know is of there is a
way to allow just some of the gateways, not all, to give access
without username/password authentication.
    

  Now you're disagreeing with yourself again.  This confuses the
issue, and makes it difficult for anyone to solve the problem, because
you keep changing the story about what the problem is.

  a) people ALWAYS use RADIUS to authenticate before they get on the net.
  b) people ALWAYS get a pretty web portal before they access the net
  c) people SOMEHOW get past the web portal to get real net access

  You want to change (b) so that SOME people get a web portal, sometimes.

  The paragraph I quoted above says you want to change requirement (a).

  Which is it?  I don't think you're clear on what you're trying to
do.  Or, you're not describing it in a consistent and clear way.
  


I do admit, I could not make it clear enough for you to understand, but no
worries, I gave it a shot anyways. Once again, I do thank you for your time
Alan. If there is someone else besides Alan out there who is trying to
achieve the same thing, I would love to hear from them. Thank you all and
thank you Alan.
