Re: Squid - Freeradius authentication

[Joe Maimon]

Just a thought: Why don't you setup a vpn server for your wireless users 
(pptpd?) and have that auth/acct to radius. You can then build a helper 
application for squid that will provide the username from (sql) radius 
accounting data. I have written something like that for our (outsourced) 
dial-up users so that they can use squid and relay through sendmail.

Hi everyone,
I have been tasked with a project to grant web access to some laptop
clients.
I have some wireless clients & some of them have permission to surf the
internet & others don't. All web requests on port 80 are redirected by
iptables to the Squid proxy server, can I use Freeradius to authenticate the
users before sending the requests out into the internet. And if the users are
not allowed to surf the internet, a web page will be sent to them telling them
they are denied access. Can this be done? has anybody done this & care to
share their experience & knowledge with me? Please help me. Thanks.
Best regards
Matthew
