      Is it possible to use Free radius to use ldap to authenticate users against MS Active Directory?
      if so is it then possible to use the TRAFFIC AND BANDWIDTH configuration to limit the users downloads on a daily basis? or do they need to be local users?

        Hi,

        everything on the "Users" tab just works for local configured users.
        The accounting features like BANDWIDTH and AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC on the GUI are just working for local configured users.

        If you want to connect freeradius with MS AD you should check the wiki:
        http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package
        There are some discussions - not sure if the connection is working without having samba installed and configured on pfsense.

        When using LDAP for authentication then you need an external *sql database to do the accounting. Then you can do BANDWIDTH and AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC - but you need to configure this on the database but not on freeradius GUI itself anymore.
