Setting up Linksys WRT54GL+CoovaAP+FreeRADIUS as a hotspot
Hello. I'm trying to set up a Linksys WRT54GL router running the CoovaAP firmware to act as a wireless hotspot using an external freeradius server for user authentication. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful so far in my endeavor so I need your help. When I set the hotspot type from the administrative interface to internal all works like a charm. The problems start when I switch to ChilliSpot UAM. I set all the required settings - the radius server ip addres, administrative user name and password for it. But when I try to connect to the hotspot afterwards nothing happens - no login page, no nothing. The radius server runs on another machine connected to the router via ethernet. The router's LAN ip is 192.168.1.1 and the radius server runs on a machine whose ip is 192.168.1.101. I have tested the radius server with radtest - it works ok. I guess that even if the radius is not working I should see Coova's hotspot login page, but I get nothing at all. I only use simple unix /etc/passwd authentication in freeradius if this matters. Am I missing something? If anyone can render me some assistance I'll be most grateful. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Setting up Linksys WRT54GL+CoovaAP+FreeRADIUS as a hotsp
I too received the dialog box. Why is this appearing? As in my earlier posts, I am having trouble understanding why an error is reached after the redirect to http://10.1.0.1:3660/prelogin." target="_blank Does anyone know why the dialog auth box appears and perhaps why prelogin is failing?

This problem solved. Need delete from Access Lists ip 10.1.0.1 (ip AP point).
But i have next problem, if opening any site, it me redirecting to page http://10.1.0.1:3660/prelogin," target="_blank AND this page not found (error 404).
The problem actual, is at whom that ideas how to solve?

Re: Setting up Linksys WRT54GL+CoovaAP+FreeRADIUS as a hotsp
Thanks, David. I saw this only seconds after I posted my message. I cannot believe I didn't see it earlier.
Re: Setting up Linksys WRT54GL+CoovaAP+FreeRADIUS as a hotsp
Sorry for the problem. The interface was designed to make it easy to switch between servers running the same captive portal application - like switching from a development to a production server. Change the URL "format" in the Advanced section, which allows for a variable replacement (see the example already there). Then go back and only put in the hostname or IP addresss in the field you are referring to.
Re: Setting up Linksys WRT54GL+CoovaAP+FreeRADIUS as a hotsp
Yes, I know. But now I am simply building a prototype for a network of Hotspots and I used a radius on my internal network only for testing purposes. I finally managed to get everything working - CoovaChilli UAM + FreeRADIUS + MySQL. I have only one problem left. I'm still using the hotstoplogin.cgi script from the original ChilliSpot, instead of the JSON interface recommended by you, because I'm having little trouble understanding it. Anyways while setting up this hotspot prototype I noticed the lack of howtos for such complete solutions. The community can really benefit from such howtos for at least the most common setups/scenarios. I'm willing myself to write one about CAP + FreeRadius + MySQL. Otherwise I'd like to congratulate on the great work. Coova is really a fine piece of software.
Re: Setting up Linksys WRT54GL+CoovaAP+FreeRADIUS as a hotsp
You can use your own RADIUS server with the embedded captive portal too. When selecting the ChilliSpot UAM hotspot type, make sure your setting under 'Advanced' are good. Regarding your RADIUS server, is it meant to be on the same network as your subscribers? It really shouldn't be. You should put it on a network connected to your WAN - not in the same network as your chilli DHCP. Know what I mean?
