I've spent nearly a week on this, trying various combinations of software and network configurations. Can't find a damn thing that will work.
I need to provide authenticated access through a router to ONLY authenticated users for ALL traffic, not just HTTP. And it needs to be free, and entirely contained within our own network (publicip.net fits the bill, but the authentication is against publicip's servers, you can't auth against your own stuff)
Authentication would ideally be against LDAP or ActiveDirectory, but I honestly have stopped caring about that - it can use it's own auth server for all I care.
Basically, what I'm looking for is something that will deny all outbound traffic unless the user first visits an internally hosted webpage and enters their username and password - which then authorizes the IP to communicate at-will with the outside world, until either the user logs out, or the connection has been idle for x amount of time.
The very, very important thing here is that it needs to be FREE.
In case I didn't do well enough, here's a brochure for a commercial product that does exactly what I need:
