By weeks end, I will have a Win2k server box and a Microtik box. I also have routers ready to deploy for EVERY client with built-in PPPoE. My plan is this: Step 1: Setup IAS (microsoft radius) to authenticate my sB devices (instead of internal MAC). Step 2: Setup Mikrotik for PPPoE/Bandwidth throttling which requires a Radius server (use Number 2 for the IAS). Step 3: Setup IIS webpage to allow my clients to log in and see their current bandwidth webpage (use Number 3 for IAS). MORE INFO: Step 1, is the easy part. Step 2, is authenicating the client's router (w/built-in PPPoE) with the radius server/MT box and setting up the bandwidth throttling at the same time. I actually dont have a clue on how to do this yet. Step 3, I have the webpages individually created each night at midnight (MRTG totalizer), but need to limit the client to only viewing their page. Still need to learn how to do this as well. Anyway...after reading up on IAS (and active directory), I see a big problem. It appears that I will need to create a user for the Wirless Device (sB) authentication, another user for the PPPoE login, and yet another user for allowing access to the IIS webpages. Is this true!??!? sob...sob... Do I really have to create 3 users in Active Directory for every one of my clients?!?!? Tell me it aint so!??! I only have 60...but that is 180 users to create!!! I have an MS access database that contains EVERYTHING I need (username, MAC addresses, IPs, passwords, etc). Is there a way to export the MS Access data, and then import it into AIS for automatic creation of all these users?!?!? I am open to any and all suggestions that do not refer to a LINUX box. For many reasons, I just cant go down that path. Thanks y'all!!
