Does anyone know about some free (as in beer, and maybe as in speech) software which would implement authentication and authorization of a user prior to issuing a valid dhcp lease?
I imagine the following scenario: someone walks into my office building with a laptop (a colleague, a visitor, a guest, whoever), and hooks up onto the local net (wired or wireless). The server detects an unknown MAC address, issues a bogus dhcp lease which resolves all dns queries to a single internal web page with a form the user is supposed to fill in and send. After he does so, an administrator does a sanity check of the data the user provided, and grants or denies access. If access is granted, the user gets a new, unrestricted dhcp lease, which provides him with a normal access to local network.
What about 802.11x authentication? If they are authenticated, they are assigned to the 'internal' vlan and if not, an alert or something else is triggered?
