      Hi,

      I have a pfSense router, with FreeRadius 3.0 installed.

      I also have several Unifi WiFi access points, which are using FreeRadius as the RADIUS server for WPA Enterprise.

      I'd like to have different user lists for each SSID. On the Unifi side - I can point each SSID at a different RADIUS instance (e.g. different IP address/port)

      However, I obviously only have a single FreeRadius instance on the pfSense - but is there perhaps some instance to spin up separate listening instances at different ports, which have their own user list?

      Cheers,
      Victor

        Multiple instances are not possible. Usually you'd setup some sort of CHECK-ITEM for users based on some attribute sent by the different access points or SSIDs so that certain users are only valid on certain places.
