Here is the wish list of things that Personal Telco would like to see added to NoCatAuth. We're working on them as we have time, energy and inspiration.

See also: NoCatAuth, NoCatAuthTesting, NodeSplashPages

Done!

• Fix auto-logout code (MichaelCodanti)

• Fix defunct process problem (One created for each Permit/Deny) (SteveBeattie)

• Allowed domains exception in initialize.fw (for ptp, easystreet etc) (SteveBeattie)

• Capture requests directly to the gateway's IP (i.e. http://10.11.12.1/)

• Ability to logout (in captive/passive mode) (NoCat)

• Status page (DonPark, MichaelCodanti, and SchuylerErle)

  • http://gateway:gatewayport/status status page (see NodeStatusPage)

• Branded splash page (open and captive mode) (BillHolmstrom, LonnieWormley, AndrewWoods)

  • Ability to display AcceptableUseAgreement

  • A way to put up a maintenance message (eg. we're working on stuff, come back later)
• Move firewall rules to separate table (so nocat rules can ignore all interfaces but the ones specified in nocat.conf)
• PAM support
• Automatically determing wireless network by looking at the inside interface.

In Progress

• Ability to display AcceptableUseAgreement via server side include from central server

• Pop up window which allows persistent branding, logout button, node info, trouble reports etc (NoCat)

• Bandwith limiting/traffic shaping (NoCat)

Short Term

• Add a security notice. Explain the risks and what to do about it (and why we don't fix it).
• Firewall rules to protect local networks (eg. "ghettowall")
• Put a link to a CGI script in the popup nav window which updates the maps server with a "last accessed on xxxxx" message.
• Ability to track repeat users (business' may worry about other businesses leaching off them)
• Should not effect traffic on any interfaces but ones listed in nocat.conf. All other options should have a setting to either deny all or allow all.
• Watchdog function - a selftest every 5 mins
• Make sure that ingress/egress filtering is done so wireless clients can't do "bad things"

Longer Term

• Don't assume NAT
• IPv6 support
• Ability to set bandwidth restrictions based on time of day
• Custom permissions/bandwidth setting on a per user basis
• Connect to centralized user/node (["GAWD"]?) database.
• Lots of pretty web-based administration and statistics

• Log into a Jabber server and you're automatically logged into NoCat

• Support remote administrative queries (via SOAP).
• Separate management console to monitor/configure many remote nocat installations
