If your AP doesn't support Radius, then you need something else to
authenticate your users. I can't see how you can acheive this easily
without some kind of Firewall with Authentication type thing.

Your AP vendor may have an authentication firmware / plugin / separate
box thing. That is not for the list to know since you haven't told us
who the vendor is or what AP you're using.
