daloRADIUS is an advanced RADIUS web management application aimed at managing hotspots and general-purpose ISP deployments. It features user management, graphical reporting, accounting, a billing engine and integrates with GoogleMaps for geo-locating.
daloRADIUS is written in PHP and JavaScript and utilizes a database abstraction layer which means that it supports many database systems, among them the popular MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite, MsSQL, and many others.
It is based on a FreeRADIUS deployment with a database server serving as the backend. Among other features it implements ACLs, GoogleMaps integration for locating hotspots/access points visually and many more features.
Liran Tal authored a book about working with daloRADIUS covering most aspects through the UI, including setting up a captive portal system.
The paperback book version is available through Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/daloRADIUS-User-Guide-Volume-1/dp/1463752199
There is also a digital version of the book via PDF, available at: https://lirantal.selz.com/

performed by an algorithm implemented by daloRADIUS itself to calculate if
an account has expired or not based on it's Max-All-Session attribute or Expiration attribute
* Custom Accounting Query
* Comparison of Accounting for different HotSpots
provides information on hotspot's unique users, total hits, average time and total time
daloRADIUS comes with integrated support for GIS provided by GoogleMaps and thus
provides the ability to visually locate deployed HotSpots across a map, see their status,
and monitor them visually.
* View Map
Provides functionality of monitoring deployed HotSpots
* Edit Map
Provides functionality for adding or deleting HotSpots from within the map itself
(i.e: no need to go to HotSpots Management page and delete or create a new one there)
* Online Users
View Online users, users that are connected to the system from all NASes at a current
point in time.
* Last Connection Attempts
View last connection attempts and their status - whether they were rejected or successful
* Search Users
Search for Users - similar to the functionality in User Management page
* Top Users
View a report of the Top Users based on their Bandwidth consumption or Time usage
* daloRADIUS Log
daloRADIUS keeps a log file for all the actions it performs itself (viewing pages,
form actions like deleting users, creating new hotspots, queries submission as in
performing user accounting and more)
* RADIUS Server Log
Provides monitoring of the freeradius server logfile
* System Log
Provides monitoring of the system log, being syslog or messages, depends.
* Boot Log
Provides monitoring of the boot/kernel log (dmesg)
* Server Status
Provides detailed information on the server daloRADIUS is deployed.
Information such as CPU utilization, uptime, memory, disks information, and more.
* RADIUS Status
Provides information whether the freeradius server is running along with the database
server (mysql, postgresql, or others)
Provides visual graphs and statistical listing per user connection's attributes, being:
* Logins/Hits
* Download
* Upload
Provides visual graphs and statistical listing for the entire server, all-time information on:
* Logins/Hits
* Traffic Comparison
* Database Settings
Database connection information (storage: mysql, postgresql and others),
credentials (username and password), radius database tables names (radcheck, radacct, etc),
and database password encryption type (none, md5, sha1)
* Language Settings
daloRADIUS is multi-lingual and supports currently English and Russian language packs
* Logging Settings and Debugging
Logging of different actions, queries and page visiting performed on different pages.
Also supports debugging of SQL queries executed.
* Interface Settings
Support for displaying password text in either clear-text or as asterisks to hide it.
Table listing spanning across multiple pages is configurable on number of rows per page
and addition of numbers links for quick-access to different pages.
* Test User Connectivity
Provides the ability to check if a user's credentials (username and password) are valid by
executing a radius query to a radius server (configurable for radius port, shared secret, etc)
* Disconnect User
Supply a username and send a PoD (Packet of Disconnect) or CoA (Change of Authority) packet
to the NAS to disconnect the user.
daloRADIUS supports Operators for complete management of the entire platform. Different Operators can be added with their contact information and ACLs settings to grant or revoke them of permissions to access different pages.
* List Operators
* Create New Operator
* Edit Operator
* Delete Operator
daloRADIUS makes use of several third-party packages and I would like to thank these great tools and their authors for releasing such a good software to the community.
