Hi all,

 

I thought I’d pop this directly to the list as the implementation is perhaps a strange one….

 

I have an apartment building in which we sell internet access on a “per user” basis.  This is achieved through wiring the building and placing a linux server in the basement which performs NAT functions and which we use to control access to the net.

 

I would like to switch this over to a radius based authentication system, but I cannot figure out how this would be implemented.

 

The general idea is when a user attempts to access a resource outside the building, a browser window should pop up forcing them to authenticate via a radius server.

 

Once they have been authenticated, we need to then track usage….

 

When the browser window is closed, the session should end.

 

Is this a big ask?  Or can someone point me in the right direction?  I had a quick look at the Apache Mod for radius, however this seems to be more focused on using radius authentication to allow access to directories on the web server itself.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated……

 

Thanks,

 

Callum
