Hi Patrick,

You are bringing a very good point. People do access my Intranet from
desktop computers (Windows, OS X, Linux) but I see more and more traffic
from smart phones and tablets. Current Intranet which needs to be redone
uses built in authentication. This is the platform

http://www.daisycms.org/daisy/index.html

I would like to migrate to something simpler which uses only flat files
but has certain advanced features. Hance my question about Foswiki (I
run few PmWiki sites). 

I tested our L2PT/IPsec gateway with Windows 7 built in client and
worked like a charm. The web app I exposed is meant to be used by
remote crews which sit in front of workstations so I was not thinking
much about hand held devices. I think  that L2PT/IPsec should work with
Android client. 

I think Authpf will allow you to accomplish your goal without giving
people shell access. The way I read it all accounts are member of authpf
group which can do only one thing, upload new firewall rules
(redirection rules) after successful login.


Thanks for you input!
