Hi Patrick, Do you have any links or references to good solutions along these lines? I remember many years ago now people were working on stuff that gave you a DHCP lease on a temp VLAN (so you could get IP) then authenticated you, then gave you another lease on a different VLAN as per your credentials. The problem was that it was really convoluted, and DHCP/database server failure was a show stopper. It would be great to be able to so "user-based" dhcp where you can put people into pools of dynamic addresses based on login, I just didn't think it was workable.

Another possibility would be a more secure alternative to DHCP. With Radius (just one example) you can require that people authenticate off of user database (Unix passwd/shadow file, LDAP, NT Domain, ADS....)
