      Hello All,

      Im a little new to Radius however i want to setup captive portal with radius authentication for some wireless users.. with radius running on a seperate machine with usernames and passwords stored preferably in a database.  On the other machine what kinda setup will i need to have interms of applications.

      i was thinking of using freeradius on the remote box. What else am i going to need… other than say.. a Mysql database.  ???

      Any help will be greatly appreciated. ;D

            Is it possible with windows authentication to have a user that can only login for a specific amount of time.
            I know that i can set the login hours but is there a way to limit the amount of time that the user can login so say…
            User logs can login for an hour
            -> user Auth Successful
            -> User log in for 30 mins
            -> User Disconnects
            -> User successfully logs in for another 30 minutes
            -> User Disconnects
            -> User tries to get in again... Error!

              I haven't looked in depth into this one but know it's working with pfSense as I have been testing radius-issues with it in the past: ftp://ftp.multitech.com/mts-software/rasexpress/radius201.exe
              This one should support timebased logins/rejects (from what I've seen). It's free and runs as Service under Windows. If you find out anything share it with us  ;)

                      We basically have m0n0wall's 1.2 version of Captive Portal.  So whatever it supports.

                      Perhaps searching the m0n0wall archives will help with this.

                            Ahh, thanks for the heads up.  I browsed to http://pfsense.er33t.net/tutorials/cp_config/ and I will download the .sfw manually so I can track the download progress.  I couldn't imagine why a html file took so long to d/led!
