We are plannig to install a WLC 5508.
Actually, there is a Nortel Controller with some Nortel APs.
The controllers use Coova CHILLI captive portal to authenticate. Also the CHILLI server acts as a DHCP server for APs and Wireless clients. The Nortel Control does not authenticate the wireless clients, is used only for AP management.
My questions are :
1.- Does the Cisco WLC 5508 works with the CHILLI?
2.- Is there any documentation?
Thanks!

Ive worked with a few portals, but not that one. And no, you wont find anything from Cisco on this vendor install. You might want to check Coova.
As for the install on the cisco side, all you should have to do is push the traffic to the portal and let the portal handle the heavy lifting. For example, have a OPEN ssid. Use the default gateway of the open ssid pointing to the portal. Then the portal handles the rest ..

Stop back if you have problems. This shouldnt be that hard. Like I said just deliver the traffic to the portal and the portal will police the traffic for ya ..
