AuthPuppy

Allow access without authentication

Asked by Notheros

Hello!

I have a question. Please, imagine the following scenario:

I have a network with WifiDog (OpenWRT)and AuthPuppy. The Person X is connected to my access point, but he is not authenticated to it. He want to access, for example, his GMail, however he doesn't has as account on Authpuppy.

There's a way to allow access to a specify website without an actually authentication?

its called a walled garden.

As far as I know the only way to do this is in the wifidog config file, however it will only let you enter IP addresses, so you will need to know what IP the host resolves to and hope they don't change it. However I don't know where you will stand with DNS resolution?!

Thank you, Robin!

I was thinking about this solution just a few minutes ago. That will solve my problem, but I don't know exactly how to do that.

Anyway, I will try to make it work. (^^)b

Hello,

That reminds me. I made a plugin for a client that was exactly that: a server-side walled garden (proxy). I gave him a few months head start working with it, but now is about time I publish the code, hopefully this week.

Hi, I just released the plugin. You'll need to pull it from bazaar for now, it is not yet downloaded directly from authpuppy:

NICE! Thanks gbastien! I already downloaded it. I will take a look on it later. This plugin will, definitely, be useful to many people.
