NetReg: Setting Up Netreg

[Tawanda M. <mus...@af...>]

Hello,

I am a sysadmin looking to setup Netreg on my network. currently I already
have a fully functional working network in place with DHCP & DNS etc all in
place. My questions are how can I setup netreg and add it to my existing
network. Does anyone have a manual / docum.. / pointers of installing it /
setting up using centos 7..

See attached for a copy of the manual I squirreled away. Be happy to answer
any questions. I'm the residence housing network administrator and oversee
the netreg deployment. I work with a sys admin for the OS install and
server setup which is now on a virtual box. We use it to manage all the
residence wired connections.

Netreg is pretty old at this point, but still works. I think most people
(including me) who are still using it have heavily customized and hacked
it to meet their own needs. I don't think there's anything newer than
the install guide here:

I think you can keep your dns, but your dhcp might have to change.   I
think one needs to use ISC’s dhcp on linux.   I would be curious if this is
not true for others.

One thing to keep in mind is understanding "how it works"  specially that
it completely depends on assigning fake DNS entries to redirect the users
to your portal. One thing we noticed in the last few years is the increase
in students coming in with hard coded DNS entries, usually Google's 8.8.8.8
or OpenDNS.

If that's the case, and there are no other protections in place, they will
just get right past NetReg. Simplest solution is for your network team to
block outbound DNS queries and that your helpdesk knows to troubleshoot
"not working calls" by first checking for static DNS entries.

I still manage a very hacked implementation but are working towards
replacing it with Aruba ClearPass which we already use for WiFi. We do have
older Cisco switches but they can do port authentication. Right know it
"works" but need to create documentation for the help desk.

Re: NetReg: Setting Up Netreg

[Wm. J. E. <wje...@ha...>]

I can't imagine how netreg would work without using ISC DHCP, since it
relies on having control of DHCP. You don't have to replace your
existing DNS, because registered machines will use it, but unregistered
machines will get fake DNS that points everything (or nearly everything)
at the netreg box, so you definitely also have to run DNS on it....
