Colleagues,

I'm trying to setup a quasi-enterprise WiFi network for mobile
devices. This will be a solution for a public library with the only
requirement that guest users should get personal credentials for WiFi
access from a librarian (not a shared PSK for everyone). 

The library has a FreeBSD router with FreeRADIUS3, and several
TP-Link APs which support "Enterprise WiFi" and can be RADIUS clients. 

The point is I don't want to require customers to install X.509 
certificates on their mobile devices, the network setup should be
simple and transparent for the customer. I don't care if some Evil
Hacker impersonates my quasi-enterprise network and collects all the
passwords, so I really need no certificates to authenticate the
network to customers.

The only condition is that each customer has a personal
login/password which expires daily (any RADIUS server can expire
accounts, I'm sure FreeRADIUS is no exception).

I would also consider a variant with FreeBSD+hostapd as AP (instead of
the TP-Link routers) if it's more feasible.

Could you please point me in the right direction. Maybe I'm totally
wrong and I should use a different approach altogether?
