Hello, and happy new year,

We are currently using a custom solution to control internet access for 
our students. The filtering is done with squid/squidGuard, which is 
computing acls from ldap request based on client's IP source, to avoid 
proxy auth. So basically the couple user/ip has to be updated on ldap 
each time an user connects. This is done serverside from samba root 
preexec logon script for windows domain computers, and from a custom 
portal registration page for other devices.

As all our network is migrating to PacketFence controlled 802.1x ldap 
auth based on samba users and machine accounts, a great simplification 
should be to have PF directly updating some user and ip LDAP attributes 
on registration, and each time the role or ip changes, replacing 
existing portal (for domain computers, which are autoregistered with 
machine account in PF, the samba process is still ok).

My question is :

Where such  actions ( basically some ldapsearch / ldapmodify, or ssh 
existing scripts on samba/ldap server ) should be performed in 
packetfence code ? Is there already some hooks for custom actions on 
registration or role evaluation ?


Thanks
