Re: Guest Wireless Access

["Greg T. Grimes" <greg.grimes () MSSTATE EDU>]

MSU uses a separate guest SSID that puts you in a "guest" network that is 
considered outside of the campus network.  We also restrict access through 
the firewall to various services that can be accessed from outside. 
Mainly our email and  Course Management Software.  The SSID sits behind a 
captive portal.  We use the Cisco portal to redirect to a server that's 
running apache.  It has a page that gives the TOS and asks for the 
password.  The password is changed each day in Radius from a large list of 
5 to 8 character words.  We also have the ability to have passwords that 
last longer than 1 day that are separate from the current word of the day. 
We also have the ability to turn the password off for football game days.
