Hi s.i.v.a,

Chillispot would probably be the easiest way to achieve your goal.

Get a router that support DD-WRT with Chillispot

The web interface (admin/user) can be done by you or get an already done one (free or not).

Since most solutions are using MySQL, you'll have to do some hacking to get it working with PostgreSQL but thats about it. 

The rest is only simple configurations/administration tasks that you'll have to learn any way to manage your hotspot.

Best,

Marcus

I recomend to look into Radius Server (zentyal) and client auth LDAP or Radius
You can use a setup of

Zentyal <------------> pFsense
- Ldap                       - Radius Client
- Radius                    - Captive portal

Best regards
