Good Afternoon All;

Currently my institution allows for registered users to create guest accounts 
for visitors to enable wireless access for the guest users (Wireless access is 
controlled via Captive Portal/PAP with a Kerberos Directory backend).
Registered users create the guest accounts using the guest users eMail address, 
such as [email protected] [email protected] etc etc etc.  This poses a slight 
problem though as the "@" sign is a reserved character for Kerberos and thus 
principles with the "@" cannot be created within our KDC.  To solve this 
problem the account generation application substitutes  the "@" for a "+" (so 
kerberos principles are created in the form jdoe+gmail.com jdoe+hotmail.com).
If guest users remember to sub a "+" for their "@" all is well, however often 
times people forget this and get stuck wondering why their username 
[email protected] is failing when they have been assured all is well.
To completely eradicate this situation we would like to place a Freeradius 
instance in place of our proprietary radius solution and have it perform the 
substitution during authentication, so neither the Guest or registered user 
need concern themselves with the whole "@" "+" thing (so from their standpoint 
the principle is [email protected] nice and easy... for them ;)
I have been trying to determine the best way to accomplish this and would 
greatly appreciate any ideas as to how this may be completed.

Thank you much.

Larry
