Grase Hotspot uses Coova Chilli internally, but does the work of setting 
everything up for you. It uses Debian/Ubuntu based distributions as it 
makes use of packaging features to do all the hard configuration work. 
The admin interface is (in my biased opinion) nice and easy to use.

Hi Raihan.

I suggest you look at something like Coova Chilli. It uses a Radius 
server to authenticate users, but does the captive portal. You can use 
any access point with it, and it'll run fine on the same machine as 
Freeradius. I don't suggest reinventing the wheel if you can avoid it.
If you are totally new to radius/captive portals etc, I suggest checking 
out the Grase Hotspot project, all you need is a machine with 2 network 
cards, install a base debian or ubuntu distro, and then install the 
Grase Hotspot packages on top. It'll setup the Freeradius for you, with 
Coova Chilli and a nice admin interface.


Tim

Dislaimer: The Grase Hotspot is my project, there are other hotspot 
systems out there with Freeradius and Coova Chilli, but some are hard to 
setup.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your advice. Is it possible  to configure the DHCP module in
freeRadius in such a way that  at first the DHCP will gave ip address of 
from one subnet like 192.168.1.X and afterwards after authentication is done
then DHCP will force to change the IP address to different IP subnet like
192.168.2.X. I am planing to write a small module in Java . Whn a device
attached to  Access Point. It will get IP from192.168.1.X and all the
request from this ip range will go to the java  program. It will get the
user name and password from the user and then do the authentication with the
Radius server. Afrer  authentication is done then the DHCP server will
change IP address of the that device.

May be i am making it more complex. 
Thanks
Raihan

yes - but you say you want some central security - and security doesnt go with 
captive portal
so suggest you change the AP to one that can do 802.1X

such a way so that i can setup an captive portal. Any suggestion will be
highly appreciated.
