It was running OK until a few weeks. Now, in the morning, with few users runs OK, but when we have more than 200 users it runs very slowly. It could waste minutes to show the web portal and the autentication is also very slow. When a user is autenticated, the navigation (NAT) runs at normal speed.

Nocat will automatically redirect users to the login page when the brswer is launched. You can force a user to the login page by entering the IP address of the server and port number ex: http://10.0.0.1:5280. But then I'm not sure what happens after authentication. You might get stuck in a loop. You can always access the stats page by typing the ip addres and adding status to the end of the url ex: http://10.0.0.1:5280/status If you are trying to access the stats site and you are inside the network then you may have to authenticate the machine you are on first This happens if you have not added your domain name to the allowed sites in the nocat conf. The only other thing it can be are your iptables rules. You would need to allow outside acess to port 5280. ::twistedpickles :: : -----Original Message----- From: "franckzak at libero.it" To: "nocat" Sent: 06/07/07 12:02 PM Subject: [NoCat] Doubtful on NocatAuth Hi all, I am an italian student(sorry for my bad english)and I'm working to project with NocatAuth!

I've been researching this and it seems that most WISP providers do use the usual authentication method. I would like to know if someone would point me in the right direction here. I want to know what code to modify so we allow pre-registration of IP Phone's MAC addresses.. so the gateway does allow those MAC addresses through, just as transparently as possible.

As a sysadmin I really dont want to know my users passwords. Is this possble to turn off/remove from the code easily? A function to add MAC-adresses in the initialize-file is VERY welcome ;) Regards Sindre ?vreb?

Nocat is written in perl. The admin site depends on nocat. There are 3 levels of users and 3 levels of admins. The password is only displayed for the very basic or 1st user level. I'm sure it can be optional. I've been thinking about adding a function to auto bypass authenticatication from the admin site but it's one of the more pressing requests at the moment. > > ::twistedpickles :: : > Can this be thrown up on CVS/SVN someplace? I can test it in the next few weeks, time permitting of course.

Nocat can currently connect to LDAP. I'll be experimenting with LDAP this summer too. I don't know what joomla is and I have never used wifidog :( The project will be open source so the features you are interested in others may also have interests in and can be implemented. I will probably put the code up near 4/July. -- ::twistedPickles:: : From twistedpickles at gmail.com Wed Jun 27 14:13:30 2007 From: twistedpickles at gmail.com (twistedpickles) Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2007 16:13:30 -0500 Subject: [NoCat] nocat + admin site In-Reply-To: <468151FA.7030504@sfsu.edu> References: <46814ac9.01098c0a.4ad5.6535@mx.google.com> <468151FA.7030504@sfsu.edu> Message-ID: @sameer I would love to put this up on cvs/svn but I have never implemented this as a service before.
