Almost there :D

Hi César,

we have customized installations of CoovaChilli at two companies. They use
it to provide internet access to guests, without risking the security of
their private network. I've slightly modified the login process of
CoovaChilli to fit the needs of our customers and to be as user friendly as
possible. The process looks like this:

1. The user opens a browser window and tries to browse a website.
2. CoovaChilli redirects the user to the splash page.
3. The splash page contains the logo of the company, some welcome text and a
button, which opens a popup window by using some simple JavaScript code.
4. A small window appears on the top right part of the screen, asking for
the login credentials.
5. After entering the username and password, the small window gets minimized
to the taskbar, and the requested page starts to load in the main browser
window.
6. The login window stays opened as long as the connection is alive, so the
user can see a lot of useful information (like session time, total data
upload/download, idle timeout, session timeout, etc.). There is a button at
the bottom of this window, which can be used to disconnect from the network.
In case the user tries to close this window, a warning message appears on
screen, telling the user that he shouldn't close the window as long as he
want to surf the net. I've set idle timeout to 10 minutes, so it's not
really an issue if someone closes the window without logging off first.

I attached the whole /etc/chilli directory to this message, so you can use
it as a template. Download the files and customize them for your liking. The
following files needs to be changed:

- /etc/chilli/config: go through the options, and modify them as needed
- /etc/chilli/ipup.sh: replace ppp0 with the name of the interface your
server uses to connect to the internet.
- /etc/chilli/www/splash.html: enter your company's name and replace the
logo

By using these files, you can easily create your own hotspot solution by
changing the logo on the splash page and replacing the name and website
address of your company (wherever you see "Your company's name" and "
www.yourcompanyswebsite.com").

This solution is JavaScript-dependent, but this should not be a problem, as
modern systems have JavaScript installed and enabled, by default.

I hope this may help you and other people to implement CoovaChilli
successfully.

Regards
Gergely Kiss
