Authentication proxy ?

[vronp]

Hi all,

Does pfsense have a feature similar to the Cisco "authentication proxy" ?

http://www.ciscosystems.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0t/12_0t5/feature/guide/iosfw2_1.html

Basically, the remote user authenticates to the firewall via http.  After successful authentication, the firewall opens up whatever ports were configured for that user.

thanks

See "Captive Portal"

I thought captive portal only works on LAN based connection ie not coming in from WAN?

You're correct, there is no authentication system for authenticating WAN side connections in pfSense.
