I have a requirment for the following, can anyone assit me please.

I have users using iphones on a hotspot and I would like to some how have these users as users in my external radius server and allow them to auto autenticate maybe using MAC Authentication or what ever method necessary but still have them as a hotspot user to monitor data and control there usage.

Any ideas Guys ?

Turn on MAC authentication, turn on ‘use-radius’ - the router will send the MAC address as the username, and an empty password. It pretty much works the same way username/password authentication does.

login-by (cookie|http-chap|http-pap|https|mac|trial; Default: http-chap, cookie) Used HotSpot authentication method
cookie - may only be used with other HTTP authentication method. HTTP cookie is generated, when user authenticates in HotSpot for the first time. User is not asked for the login/password and authenticated automatically, until cookie-lifetime is active
http-chap - login/password is required for the user to authenticate in HotSpot. CHAP challenge-response method with MD5 hashing algorithm is used for protecting passwords.
http-pap - login/password is required for user to authenticate in HotSpot. Username and password are sent over network in plain text.
https - login/password is required for user to authenticate in HotSpot. Client login/password exchange between client and server is encrypted with SSL tunnel
mac - client is authenticated without asking login form. Client MAC-address is added to /ip hotspot user database, client is authenticated as soon as connected to the HotSpot
trial - client is allowed to use internet without HotSpot login for the specified amount of time
