I don't know where to start. I want to have a simple authentication server. All it will do is ask a user for their name and password so that they can access the internet. That's all it will do. If a user cannot supply a valid username and password, internet access will be blocked.
But I haven't got a clue where to start. Please point me in the right direction.
Since this server will have no heavy-duty function, I prefer a GUI-based solution. Simplicity in setup is important. So a point and click option is preferable to a command line.

In linux you can go for Squid. Squid is a proxy server which allow various authentication method. If its your start with linux then you have to read few docs before doing this. Squid NCSA authentication can do the job.

That's why I didn't come back.
