Dear all,
Could anybody give me some recommended open source software for wifi management?
What I am looking for is a simple and basic tools, for example the software will have these kind of features : - user connect to the wifi network - user got IP from DHCP but he can't browse to anywhere at first. Instead he will redirected to a "login page" - administrator will set the username and password (e.g : user1, password ; user2, password2) - if needed, the username will be enabled and be given to the user - if unused, the username will simply be disabled so no authenticated user could connect eventhough they remember the password. - I don't need the billing system just the administration tools.
I already googled and found chillispot, but it seemed to be an overkill software. Are there anything simpler than chillispot?
Thanks. Roberto

you could try pfSense. http://www.pfsense.org
They have a "captive portal" mode.
Coming with 2.0 is a function to pre-generate "vouchers".
Nothing to do with CentOS, but the software is cool and free ;-)

I don't know if it is still being supported or if there are better alternatives, but nocat.net used to have something like this.

- Linux-based solution: Endian Firewall -> http://www.endian.com/en/solutions/technology/endianhotspot/

No hotspot functions in the free and open source version of Endian

This works well...

That page lists a few of them.
Ah, Captive Portal it is.
Thanks a lot Sir. :)
