          @mohkhalifa yeah...im not talking About pfsense here

          if you are looking for having per-user bandwidth, then you will have to use a Radius server. pfsense does not allow you to perform per-user bandwidth control when using LDAP authentication method

          my recommendation : install a freeradius on a separate server/virtual machine. this radius server would use your LDAP server as source, and would define other rules for per user bandwidth

          this Radius server would then be used by your pfsense for authenticating users

          for information, It is technically possible to install freeradius directly on pfsense(using freeradius3 package)...but I would not recommend it to you: this package is mostly unmaintained, and suffers from bugs. if you are still interested, you should have a look to this forum post

            @Gertjan "I don't know what this is :" I want to authenticate using the Windows Server Active Directory users. also, to add bandwidth limit for each one. that's it

              "I don't know what this is :"

              I was kidding ^^

              What I know is : pfSense can interface with the package FreeRadius, and for that matter with any Radius server.
              You'll be needing the latter.

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
              Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  @Gertjan can you point me to a video tutorial or any tutorial on how to this. i have CP and also using SQUID proxy transparent, the only lacking is to connect freeradius so i could also limit bandwidth per user in a single lan. thanks.

                    Dear @alpax8,
                    Please note that I'm NOT using FreeRADIUS, I'm using pfSense with Windows RADIUS Server and everything is working amazing.

                        Well, I found 2 threads about Microsoft NPS posted by you in CaptivePortal category, and I am glad that you figured out how to use Microsoft NPS as radius server for pfSense authentication.

                        It's better that you can take some time to share your experience in your own thread, It will help me and others who may got the same issue.
