Transparent Coova Chilli / Radius (WAS Re: Does Mac authentication requre HTTP access/redirection ?)

[Derek C]

Hi Liran,

That's great - it is doing that for me but I wasn't 100% sure about that.

Do you think it would be therefore "safe" to consider having a Coova
Chilli setup, with MAC authentication and a freeradius server, that puts
the user's MAC into the radcheck table *before* the authentication just
for accounting purposes (i.e. freeradius is guaranteed to get an ACK back
to Coova Chilli for any MAC authentication request).

I'm very interested in the backgrounding accounting abilities of a
"transparent" Coova Chilli setup.

Do you think there splash page would/could ever show up?  (hopefully not...)

Derek
