Could someone give me an overview of the parts needed to perform the following trick?
New 802.11 client comes up and is allowed to associate with an AP. The client asks the MT DHCP server for a lease and MT checks with freeRADIUS to see if the MAC is known. About 99% of the time the MAC is known but sometimes the account is past due. Depending on the response from the RADIUS box the MT box will:
- grant DHCP but only allow access to one page that says 'Welcome, call this number to set up an account)
- grant DHCP but only allow access to one page that says ‘Welcome, pay your bill to see the web’
- grant DHCP and set up a throttle queue on the address at the rate the RADIUS server provided in its reply.
This seems like it might be a common thing for a WISP to do. Does this already exist as a HOWTO somewhere?
