Hi,
I've got my hotspot working, well it's authenticating users to the radius server correctly.
I now need to setup a system where if the user doesn't have an account, they are redirected to a setup server.
I imagine that it would work as follows:
1) user gets ip address via dhcp
2) user attempts to surf to a page.
3) user gets the logon page
4) user clicks on new account (this is hardcoded with a test user)
5) test user user auth'd via radius
6) all port http requests issued by the test user are redirected to the setup server.
Point 6 is where I hit a problem. How do I findout the IP address in use by the test user - obviously this is needed for the firewall redirect. Or is there a better/different way to do this ??
One way would be to have the user setup with a specific IP address, but not all users will be able to accomplish this. I'd rather all users connected via DHCP.
Any one any thoughts on this ?
Regards,
Jon Lawrence
