Per the included link:

You can specify the redirect page on the Remote Authentication Dial-In
User Service (RADIUS) server. The RADIUS server should be configured to
return the Cisco av-pair url-redirect RADIUS attribute to the Wireless
LAN Controller upon successful 802.1x authentication.

This is normal radius server functionality and is supported by
freeradius.

Cheers,
Ken
