You should be able to do that if you have an ACS that does the authentication for the wireless clients, and the ACS integrated with an RSA style token server. Without the ACS in the picture, I dont see how you can achieve it.

The other thing you can use is a WCS server and create guest user accounts with a specific time duration. Later versions of WCS work well with that feature : 5.2 and onwards.

That solution wont need a token system, just the WCS to be configured with the guest users and the time they can be active.

WCS will take care of adding and removing them from the controller when the time comes.
