Centralized user manager across sites

RouterOS General
1

Hi, I have 5 separate ISP subnets, each with their very own mikrotik core routers.

I want to implement hotspots for each site, but I want all the hotspots to talk back to my main site for the usermanager. Is this possible?

My main site runs a RB1100 and the smaller sites run RB750’s, upload in my country is not very good, we’re talking around 3mb, would this be sufficient? I will create site to multi-site vpns to join the subnets.

My next question is, will Autorize.net for the payment gateway work with many hotspots and one usermanager, I only want to subscibe for one account to authorize.net and not have a separate auth.net account for each hotspot…doable?

it is possible that several hotspots talk to same RADIUS, just make sure your connection to the radius server is encrypted.

Thank you Janisk

would the 3mb connection between sites handle the traffic when I have many users at the satelite sites connecting? I mean all their session information will need to be transmitted back to the usermanager/radius at my central site, do you guys have any idea how much traffic the sessions create back to the radius? Per user or per 50 users?

RADIUS is not bandwidth intensive, most important is latency - it has to be as low as you can possibly get.

Thanks for that information, I’m not sure what would be considered low latency, but if I do a ping from any of my sites to my central site I get around 50ms

Is this workable for radius to operate ok with do you think?
