Hello Security world. I would like to know if anyone can provide best solutions for password protecting access to network (internet) from unauthorized users, particularly from visitors. We would like to have a solution in place like most hotels have where you connect and are prompted to pay for internet access. In our case, we don't want to charge but we would like to restrict access unless we provide a password to obtain an IP address and internet access. This solution will be for wired network, and preferably, each user will need to contact IT for temporary username and password. Right now anyone can come in and connect to any live jack and get network access. Although we can unplug all unused network jacks, we would rather have a more centralized management solution. ________________________________ Jet Aviation Rolando Ruiz --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: SensePost Hacking, like any art, will take years of dedicated study and practice to master.
