The module provides an opportunity to implement the following case: Subscriber athorization in WiFi network by a phone number

When a subscriber connects to Wi-Fi, the router requests the DCHP server to obtain a new IP address. The server returns the addresses to the router and runs the shell-script, which activates the tariff with limited access and the “White List”. It makes sense to include in the white lists, for example, the site of the provider or organization providing public Wi-Fi.

Then the subscriber is redirected to the browser start page, where he needs to go through the authorization by phone number. The web server receives a successful authorization response from the SMS gateway and, using a shell-script, disables restrictions specified on the DPI and redirects the subscriber to the desired page.

In order to run the module you can use the following hardware or virtual machines matching the following characteristics:

1. CPU 2.5 GHz, 1 pcs
2. RAM 512 MB - 1 GB
3. HDD 20 GB - 50 GB
4. Operating system CentOS 7.x, CentOS 8.x, VEOS, CentOS Stream 8.x, Oracle Linux Server 8.x, AlmaLinux 8.x
5. NIC ranging from 10 Mbps

1. Make sure the openssh-clients is installed, it is required to connect to the DPI
2. The rest of environment will be installed automatically

1. Make sure the openssh-clients is installed, it is required to connect to the DPI
2. If PHP version <7.1 is installed, uninstall the old one:

   yum -y remove php*

   The new version will be installed automatically during dpiui2 installation.

3. If MySql is installed, uninstall it:

   yum remove mysql mysql-server mysql-community-common

   Also delete the MySql directory:

   mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql_old_backup

   During wifi_hotspot installation MariaDB 10.4+ will be installed

Recommended operating system is Cent Cent OS 7+ If you need to install the module on Cent OS 6, make sure that supervisor 3+ is installed. If you do not have the needed package, plese install it using the following commands:

sudo wget https://vasexperts.ru/install/supervisor-3.0-1.gf.el6.noarch.rpm
yum install supervisor-3.0-1.gf.el6.noarch.rpm

To install, run the script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

info () {
    echo -e " info:    $@ ";
}

ok () {
    echo -e " done:    $@ ";
}

error () {
    echo -e  " ERROR:  $@";
}

yum install -y wifi_hotspot --exclude=php-common*;

info "Finished wifi_hotspot package installing."

The rpm wifi_hotspot package will be installed. It will be configured automatically according to the default configuration.

Installation/upgrading of the following environment will be performed during the installation:

1. PHP >= 7.1
2. MariaDB >= 10.4
3. Apache
4. Composer
5. PHP SSH2 lib
6. Laravel/Lumen

The necessary ports will be opened, and cron will be launched to perform scheduled background tasks during the installation process.

The module will be installed to the

/var/www/html/wifi_hotspot/

directory.

After the installation, enter in the browser:

http://<IP address of VM>/

To update a previously installed version, run the following command:

yum install -y wifi_hotspot

System settings of the module are in the .env file:

• Created a new Wi-Fi HotSpot module

Interaction between HotSpot and the subscriber on the SSG and the commands executed during this process:

1. Script triggered by DHCP (unloaded on SSG at /var/dpiui2/add_captive_portal_auth.sh). Service profile 5 and policing profile for authorization are applied to the subscriber's IP

   fdpi_ctrl load --service 5 --profile.name='hotspot_white_list_profile' --ip $1
   fdpi_ctrl load --policing --profile.name='wifi_hotspot_auth_policing' --ip $1

2. Commands executed on the SSG upon successful user authorization:
   1. If a subscriber with this login already exists:

      fdpi_ctrl list --bind --login='[phone]'

   2. Remove the policing profile for authorization from the subscriber:

      fdpi_ctrl del --policing --ip=[ip]

   3. Remove service 5 from the subscriber:

      fdpi_ctrl del --service 5 --ip=[ip]

   4. Remove service 11 (NAT) from the subscriber:

      fdpi_ctrl del --service 11 --ip=[ip]

   5. Create a bind subscriber:

      fdpi_ctrl load --bind --user='[phone]:[ip]'

   6. Apply the policing profile for internet access to the subscriber:

      fdpi_ctrl load --policing --profile.name='wifi_hotspot_policing' --login='[phone]'

   7. If services are set in the GUI form that need to be applied to the subscriber:

      fdpi_ctrl load --service [service] --login='[phone]'

   8. If service profiles are set in the GUI form that need to be applied to the subscriber:

      fdpi_ctrl load --service [service] --profile.name='[profile_name]' --login='[phone]'

3. Commands executed on the SSG when the authorized user's session has expired:
   1. Remove the policing profile for internet access from the subscriber:

      fdpi_ctrl del --policing --login='[phone]'

   2. Retrieve the list of services applied to the subscriber and remove them:

      fdpi_ctrl list --service --login='[phone]'
      	fdpi_ctrl del --service [service] --login='[phone]'

   3. Delete the bind subscriber:

      fdpi_ctrl del --bind --login='[phone]'

   4. Execute the script on the SSG to add service profile 5 and policing profile for authorization (see item 1)
