[isf-wifidog] Restrict Clien access

[Robin Jones]

If you wanted to impliment your own solution for your original request you would need to add a custom database field to networks called "default_account_expiry" and one in users called "account_expires" then in wifidog/auth/index.php add a case to the SQL statement on line 63 e.g. CASE WHEN ((CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - reg_date) > default_account_expiry) THEN true ELSE false END AS account_expired

Then add an if statement to catch and manage the statement e.g.

if (($info[' account_expires'] == 't') && ($info['account_expired'] == 't')) 
                 { 
                    $auth_response = ACCOUNT_STATUS_DENIED; 
                     $auth_message .= "| your account which was registered on ".$info['reg_date']." has now expired. "; 
                 }


And then add the appropriate fields to both the user manager and the network manager.

Hmmm, so in case I have an account that I want to "disable" or "deny surfing" can that be done? I work for a University and we have students that register each semester. If they don’t register any class then they don't have Internet access. What I am trying to do is disable navigation for those users that are not registered for the current semester without having to delete them from the DB, it will be great if I could just disable their account. Or have a script disable all accounts after semester ends.

Thank you so much for your support

As far I I know, there is no one planning on implementing making accounts 
expire after a set time.

If you mean limiting bandwidth or connection time per month (or some other 
period), then yes, this feature is in development.
