Hello VGLUG,

I have RHEL5 based Squid Proxy Server, which is responsible to provide Internet connectivity in "Non-Transparent" mode. (No Iptables & MASQ Rules)

Now, we have established campus wi-fi network with a centralized Wi-Fi Controller. All Wi-Fi based user authentication will be accomplished by RADIUS Server.

Now, After successful Wi-Fi authentication (laptop/mobile/tablet), if user tries to access internet thru. SQUID, first they should be redirected to captive portal for authentication.

End User's laptop/mobile/tablet devices have proxy IP & Port in their browser because Proxy is working in "Non-Transparent" mode. As per the existing IT Policy, I can't remove Proxy IP & Port setting from browser.

So, I would like to get proxy redirection policy in Squid Server.

Hi NIshith,
                  Use "Squidguard" a URL redirector for squid proxy that could help you to redirect the clients to captive portal.

Hello,

In SQUID, I have ACL of 100 IP Addresses with port id 3128.

Now, if client is having different proxy ip & port number other then "Proxy Port" in their browser, my proxy server should redirect that request to Captive Portal.




Regards,
Nishith N.Vyas

Problem resolved using native squid application only.
