Has anyone had a look at the new software release from Open Mesh, specifically 
CT4 of their CloudTrax cloud-based controller?

It looks like they have added support for external RADIUS servers and splash 
pages which should make it easier to use PacketFence out-of-bounds.

https://github.com/cloudtrax/docs/tree/master/captive_portal/splash_pages/external

Basically, the redirected splash page URL is augmented with the following URL 
Parameters:

-        Client MAC

-        Access Point IP (UAMIP)

-        UAM Port

-        Challenge which is a randomly generated token

After the user has successfully authenticated on the splash page, they need to 
be directed back to the AP's IP address via a request of the following 
structure:

http://<UAMIP>:<UAMPORT>/logon?username=<USERNAME>&password=<ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD>

Where the <ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD> is a hash of the Challenge combined with a 
Secret Key configured in the CloudTrax configuration page.

Are there any switch options in PacketFence which could do this today or will 
it need to be built from scratch?

Thanks,

Michael Stone
