Since we first started talking about using the browser as an authentication tool in December 2000 OpenSource implementations have started to appear. Here is a list of all the software I know of that implements either a CaptivePortal or an ActivePortal solution. '''Open Source''' * [http://nocat.net/download/NoCatAuth/ NoCatAuth] *Written in perl, supports Linux/iptables and OpenBSD/pfctl. GPLed. Supports authenticating modes against an auth service with a wide variety of backends, including a MySQL database, PAM, RADIUS, LDAP, and more. Also features a non-authenticating "open mode" that merely requires a user to accept an AUP before they can log in. This project is more or less seeking a new maintainer. * [http://nocat.net/download/NoCatSplash/ NoCatSplash] * Written in C, currently under heavy development. Intended to be the successor to NoCatAuth, the gateway process and all its data files fit within 200-250k, making it ideal for embedded environments. * [http://www.cc.saga-u.ac.jp/opengate/index-e.html Opengate developed at Saga University (Japan)] * GPLed, runs on FreeBSD. Uses a Java applet to keep the connection open, and ftp or pop3 servers for an authentication back-end. (added by Jim Thompson) * MetaNet by ErikWalthinsen. * Still in early beta but it will provide an entire network application framework rather then just a CaptivePortal solution. * [http://www.geekspeed.net/wicap/ WiCap] by BrianCaswell * Written in Perl and runs under OpenBSD. I believe this is what NovaWireless will be deploying. * [http://www.river.com/tools/authhb/ River of Stars] * Wireless heartbeat implementation (presently most usable on an OpenBSD gateway) * [http://www.lanroamer.net/soholanroamerdevframe.html LanRoamer] (Linux 2.4.x) * Based on the Linux 2.4 kernel and GPL'd. (Name changed to LanRoamer by Jim Thompson) * [http://slan.sourceforge.net/ SLAN] * A GPL'd captive portal implementation using VPN technology. Has Linux and Windows clients. * [http://ceres.unit.liu.se/netlogon-devel/ Netlogon] by Kent Engström at Linköpings University * Not much known, a basic captive portal solution. * [http://www.itlab.musc.edu/~nathan/authentication_gateway/ Authentication Gateway HOWTO] by Nathan Zorn * Uses a PAM module to insert an iptables rule. Very simple and effective. (Added by LimAko). * [http://software.stockholmopen.net/index.shtml StockholmOpen] by the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden * This system is also operator neutral, allowing different users to connect through the access network to different upstream providers. Implementation in C, uses PAM, Linux/FreeBSD. BSD License. (Added by MartinHedenfalk). * [http://opensplash.qalab.com OpenSplash] by Aleksandr Melentiev from San Francisco Wireless * Inspired by the simplicity of wicap, intended to run on FreeBSD by utilizing Perl and ipfw. Doesn't provide much functionality, other than a simple AUP agreement. Development is in progress to expand its capabilities. '''Commercial or Proprietary''' * MikroTik Hotspot RouterOS -- www.mikrotik.com * http://www.mikrotik.com/Documentation/manual_2.7/IP/Hotspot.html * Aptilo's Captive Portal * http://www.aptilo.com/pages/main/solution/mobile.htm * Cisco's [http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/dsl_prod/6400/feat_gd/12_1_5/ssg.htm Service Selection Gateway] * [??] * Starbucks has a CaptivePortal solution of some sort. Anyone know the details? * Yeah, its Cisco's Service Selection Gateway -- Jim Thompson * [http://www.mschoice.com/ MS Choice] (site requires IE5) Microsoft's testbed for the Starbucks Deal. * "To prevent such unauthorized access and hacking, OIT developed its own authentication program requiring wireless users to log in through a web browser before access to the Internet is granted. If a user's connection is inactive for a certain amount of time, the authentication system closes the user's access, deterring potential hackers from taking advantage of the connection." * Not quite true. The Starbucks deal was Mobilestar, and there was precious little Microsoft content in the deal (or company). --Jim Thompson * [http://www.news-info.gatech.edu/news_releases/lawn.html Columbitech's Wireless VPN ] * "... enables mobile professionals to access mission-critical data on the corporate LAN from all major handheld devices, with optimized performance and true end-to-end security from application to application. In addition, Columbitech's solution offers a secure always-on experience. Columbitech Wireless VPN will also support wireless network roaming." * http://www.columbitech.com/products/productsWVPN.asp * [http://www.nas.nasa.gov/Groups/Networks/Projects/Wireless/index.html NASA's Wireless Firewall Gateway] * A solution using Openbsd, PHP, IPFilter and Apache. There is no source available that I know of. * [http://www.wayport.net Wayport] * Another solution using Linux, perl IPF, and Apache. No source available --Jim Thompson * [http://www.surfandsip.com Surf and Sip] * Hack using FreeBSD, perl, ipfw and mini_httpd. No source available -- MattPeterson * [http://www.fatport.com FatPort] * Gateway software running OpenBSD, Perl, C, and Apache. * Auth server running PostgreSQL, etc.. * System can be licensed, but code not available. --KenSimpson * [http://www.birdstep.com IPzone] Linux,Apache No source available -- Suresh Rasaretnam * [http://www.controlap.com ControlAP] Win*,*nix,MacOS, Zaurus,PocketPC - JAVA VM needed - No source available, web-based administration - free 30 days trial. * [http://www.patronsoft.com/firstspot PatronSoft - FirstSpot], Win*, optional : MySQL, SQL server 2000 or similar ---- [CategorySoftware] |
