      G'day people.  I've been searching for some answers, but haven't found any, so here is my question.

      When using the Captive Portal with Radius Authentication (FreeRadius) are the following possible?:

      1. Create a user that once logged in, will have a specific time of Internet access. e.g 2 hours.  After that, his account expires and cannot use it anymore.

      2. Automatically remove/delete the account after it has expired

      3. Is it possible to have only PINS, so users are not required to enter a 'username', just their pin number?

      Many thanks for your help and time.

      Chris.

          Metu69salemi,

          No, not vouchers, I am specifically talking about using Freeradius server for all the above scenarios/questions.

          Thank you!

              are you planning to use a free radius with database server like postgresql or mysql?

                I dont know about using the FreeRADIUS package if that is what you are thinking.. but all this is possible with an actual external FreeRADIUS server.  I do basically all of this already with FreeRADIUS with MySQL backend, and daloRADIUS for web management
