All of the RADIUS bits are handled with PHP's Auth_RADIUS, by looking into it vs. what we have in our inc files you should be able to answer #1-4. I don't know the answers there offhand. > 5) where to put configuration parameters? In config.xml the same as everything else is handled for all portions of the system. > 6) I believe it would be desirable to choose at least php/mschapv2 in the > captive portal configuration in the web interface. Yeah it would have an option for each configured RADIUS server, or maybe just globally, to select which. > 7) is there a developer guide? Not really, there is quite a bit of info on devwiki.pfsense.org. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
