Voucher Platform for Basic Internet
Goal
- IP-domain specific voucher sets, e.g. Kinderdorf, Kigali, Kinshasa South
[igaritano]
My suggestion is to add a hidden string to identify the origin of the vouchers.
For example, let's consider the following voucher "TFOP" for the Kinderdorf. During the voucher creation process, I would add "_Kinderdorf" to all vouchers. That would give us "TFOP_Kinderdorf" as result.
In order to have the solution up and running, we will need to modify the login page for each site, so that each login web page automatically adds the site related string. Thus, users will only need to introduce TFOP and the web page will append "_Kinderdorf" before sending the information to the radius server.
- Adminstrator login for ordering vouchers, specification of vouchers (out of a list)
- pattern (alphanumeric, length)
- first character
- validity (time, amount of data, validity e.g. 1 year)
- Voucher creation

I have created two bash scripts [(1) radcheck.sh and (2) radreply.sh] in order to create two sql scripts [(1) radcheck.sql and (2) radreply.sh]. Each bash script, creates a single sql script.
Whenever we create new vouchers, depending on the configuration parameters, we will need to populate either one or two database tables. These two tables are called (1) radcheck and (2) radreply.
(1) radcheck table will be always populated with new voucher information. (2) radreply will depend on the configuration parameters.
There are five (these are which up to now we have used) variables each voucher could (not all of them are necessary) have: 1.- username* [necessary] 2.- User-Password* (The password) [necessary] 3.- Mikrotik-Total-Limit (Data transfer limit in BYTES) [optional] 4.- Max-Secs-Passed (Maximum time per session in SECONDS) [optional] 5.- Max-All-Session (Maximum time per voucher in SECONDS) [optional]
Each bash script takes as input a text file, where each voucher name (or username) is written in a single line. For example 1hour.csv :
OLFV OTPU OYKA OPDM
Furthermore, we need to specify the optional variables. If any of them is equal to zero (0), then it will be ignored. For exapmle for 1hour :
Mikrotik_Total_Limit=0 Max_Secs_Passed=0 Max_All_Session=3600
- Voucher enabling to specific Radius server
Open issues
- Architectural drawing
- max number of vouchers
- username/password when only using one string, e.g. GravidPlus "g1304"
