I had a fast look at the authentication gateway howto... Sorry, I do not 
understand how can it help me...
I want to find a means to authenticate the wireless clients towards the 
access point, not towards the rest of the - wired - network.
The wireless client must not be able to associate to the AP, unless it 
supplies the correct credentials: that way, only authenticated users can 
associate to the AP and mutually 'see' themselves. Certificates are very 
good for this, but are not so practical when clients belongs to 
occasional customers...

You may want to look into this as an option.

Freeradius, wireless access point and password authentication

2007-01-04 Thread Roberto

Hello, I'm new to freeradius...
I want to realize a sort of hot spot using freeradius, mysql (with a 
graphical interface creating users on it) and some access points 
(linksys, d-link, etc...).
I correctly installed and integrated freeradius and mysql. Now the 
problem is to use the access points as NASes, and to realize an 
authentication system which prompts the client computers ( with Windows 
XP ) for a password in order to associate with the AP. I cannot use 
certificates to join the AP, because the client computers belongs to 
occasional visitors, and installing certificates on each client would be 
little practical. I made different trials, with no success.

Thank you in advance for any help, and sorry for my bad english :-)
