[PacketFence-users] Open Mesh CT4 - Out of Band Support

[Michael S. <mic...@in...>]

Has anyone had a look at the new software release from Open Mesh, specifically CT4 of their CloudTrax cloud-based controller?

It looks like they have added support for external RADIUS servers and splash pages which should make it easier to use PacketFence out-of-bounds.

https://github.com/cloudtrax/docs/tree/master/captive_portal/splash_pages/external

Basically, the redirected splash page URL is augmented with the following URL Parameters:

-        Client MAC

-        Access Point IP (UAMIP)

-        UAM Port

-        Challenge which is a randomly generated token

After the user has successfully authenticated on the splash page, they need to be directed back to the AP's IP address via a request of the following structure:

http://<UAMIP>:<UAMPORT>/logon?username=<USERNAME>&password=<ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD>

Where the <ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD> is a hash of the Challenge combined with a Secret Key configured in the CloudTrax configuration page.

Are there any switch options in PacketFence which could do this today or will it need to be built from scratch?

Thanks,

Michael Stone
