pfSense rules bind to Active Directory users

[vladgames228]

Hi guys,

Not so long ago, I needed a feature to set rules for AD users. The captive portal wouldn't work for me because it requires too much authorization. I wanted an SSO-like approach, so I could just log into any PC, and pfSense would give me the right access. Then, when another user logs in, the access would adjust for them. I couldn't find this in any form, so I wrote this script:
https://github.com/vladgames228/ad_pfsense_access

Basically, it temporarily adds the PC where I logged in into a pfSense alias, and for this alias, I configure the rules.

For me, this is a super useful basic feature, and I can't understand whether it's so specific that no one needs it except me, or if I'm being dumb and there is a different, right approach for this task. I want to continue working on this tool. now I need an API for updating the config, so before I begin doing this, I wanted to ask you: what do you think? Was there something similar? I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
