I was wondering if anybody here had any experience using Untangle's web filter with PC Reservation/Envisionware computer control software (such as in a Public Library setting).
Basically, PC Reservation has a client and server setup. Installed clients on public computers block access to a computer until a user enters his or her library card number. The information is then sent to the server and if the library card number is valid, access is granted to the computer for a specified period of time.
The server (called the "Management Console") has an option to also control some types of web filters using either Proxy or Profile (RADIUS)-based authentication. Obviously, proxy is out because that's not what Untangle is. But I'm wondering if Untangle accepts any sort of RADIUS control packets to entirely unblock or change the level of filtering for a computer on a per-session basis (or in this case direct the user to a different rack?). Assume that the AD username remains unchanged in both a filtered and unfiltered scenario.
The Management Console has a place to enter various Profile names and associated passwords to submit to the web filter using RADIUS. Just wondering if Untangle accepts these.
