Mikrotik + Freeradius

Hello,

Is this possible:

  1. I have today a working FreeRadius installation that works perfect for authenticating users.

  2. I want to setup/install/configure the Mikrotik to set up a “Hotspot”

  3. I have several VLAN´s from my access points and want to set up a Hotspot on one of the VLAN´s.

  • Can anyone help me install/configure this?

Best regards,
Johan

Greetings!
The docs are a good reference on this service. The hotspot has a setup function that I find works well.
/ip hotspot setup
It will prompt for the interface on which you want to put the hotspot. All else is pretty much default, except:
if you are running a NATed net, when prompted for “masquerade network?”, enter “no”.
if you do not want to use SSL on the login page, enter “none” at the security certificate prompt.
enter a username and password when prompted, and use it to test the hotspot setup.

Then go on to RADIUS.
/radius add service=hotspot address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx secret=radiussecret
Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the radius server IP and radiussecret with your radius secret
If you selected the defaults in the hotspot setup, it normally uses a hotspot profile called hsprof1, but do a
/ip hotspot print
to check for certain. Then:
/ip hotspot profile set hsprof1 use-radius=yes

Several steps more must be taken for all to work correctly. DNS, NTP, etc…and set a client for this in the radius clients.conf file.
Hit the docs for info on them.
Whew! Essay questions… :wink:
