How to Start Developing for Captive Portal

[simply seth]

I would like to begin writing my own authentication mechanism for Captive Portal.
Where would I begin?

Can't seem to find the right documentation yet.

And, here it where it all starts:
Look in this directory : /usr/local/captiveportal

Even more important:
Get yourself a decent editor like Notepad++ or even better: UltraEdit.
A FTP client that supports SFTP. Activate SSH access to your pfsense box (if not already done).
Most if not all files are pretty self documenting.

pfsense itself (the GUI): /usr/local/www

I'll be using vim-lite though.
