Topic: Can someone steer me in the right direction

Hello,

Long story short I am trying to set up chillispot+mysql+freeradius to direct
all within a certain network to a captive portal which will accept and store
whatever user/password combination they provide.

I've not been seeing an easy way to do this and I'm not familer with radius or chillispot.
If anyone knows or can steer me in the right direction it would be wonderful

Thanks,

Christopher

Re: Can someone steer me in the right direction

Linux/Apache/FreeRadius/MySQL/Chilli is not that difficult to put together with a decent amount of Linux Experience. It works really well IMO. I am not having any problems with it. I got it put together, took excellent notes on what I did, and did some customizations to it. I did this for a large timeshare resort with a crapload of wrt54g routers flashed with dd-wrt behind the chillispot box. It took 3 days total to put together and a lot of patience with freeradius debugging.

Hmm, methinks:

Setup the c/spot with mysql as per the HOWTOs, also there's a handy php version of hotspotlogin floating around, get that too.  Then the hard part.

I'd see if you could write the desired username/password to the mysql 'radius' table via the php hotspotlogin which the NAS will then read out.  That way you can stick anything in for username and password, it will be stored in mysql, and it will always authenticate OK.

Don't ask me about the details, I don't know nearly enough php to do it I'm afraid!

I hope that makes sense and seem feasible.
