FTP Active Directory User Isolation <activeDirectory>

The <activeDirectory> element specifies the credentials and connection time-out for communicating with an Active Directory server for FTP user isolation. This option is the same as choosing Active Directory user isolation in the IIS 6.0 FTP server, where a user's account must have the msIIS-FTPRoot and msIIS-FTPDir properties configured in their Active Directory objects.

• If the FTP service successfully accesses the path that is specified by the msIIS-FTPRoot and msIIS-FTPDir properties, it becomes the home directory for the user and the user cannot access the file system outside this directory. - If the FTP service cannot access the path that is specified by the msIIS-FTPRoot and msIIS-FTPDir properties, or either of the msIIS-FTPRoot or msIIS-FTPDir properties do not exist, the user is denied access.

For additional information about how to configure the Active Director properties, see the "Isolate Users Using Active Directory Mode" section in the Hosting Multiple FTP Sites with FTP User Isolation (IIS 6.0) topic.

With Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the FTP 7.5 service ships as a feature for IIS 7.5, so downloading the FTP service is no longer necessary.

To support FTP publishing for your Web server, you must install the FTP service. To do so, use the following steps.

1. On the taskbar, click Server Manager.

2. In Server Manager, click the Manage menu, and then click Add Roles and Features.

3. In the Add Roles and Features wizard, click Next. Select the installation type and click Next. Select the destination server and click Next.

4. On the Server Roles page, expand Web Server (IIS), and then select FTP Server.

   Note

   To support ASP.Membership authentication or IIS Manager authentication for the FTP service, you will need to select FTP Extensibility, in addition to FTP Service.
   .

5. Click Next, and then on the Select features page, click Next again.

6. On the Confirm installation selections page, click Install.

7. On the Results page, click Close.

1. On the Start screen, move the pointer all the way to the lower left corner, right-click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.

2. In Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows features on or off.

3. Expand Internet Information Services, and then select FTP Server.

   Note

   To support ASP.Membership authentication or IIS Manager authentication for the FTP service, you will also need to select FTP Extensibility.
   

4. Click OK.

5. Click Close.

1. On the taskbar, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.

2. In the Server Manager hierarchy pane, expand Roles, and then click Web Server (IIS).

3. In the Web Server (IIS) pane, scroll to the Role Services section, and then click Add Role Services.

4. On the Select Role Services page of the Add Role Services Wizard, expand FTP Server.

5. Select FTP Service.

   Note

   To support ASP.Membership authentication or IIS Manager authentication for the FTP service, you will also need to select FTP Extensibility.
   

6. Click Next.

7. On the Confirm Installation Selections page, click Install.

8. On the Results page, click Close.

1. On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2. In Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows Features on or off.

3. Expand Internet Information Services, and then FTP Server.

4. Select FTP Service.

   Note

   To support ASP.Membership authentication or IIS Manager authentication for the FTP service, you will also need to select FTP Extensibility.
   

5. Click OK.

1. Download the installation package from the following URL:

   • https://www.iis.net/expand/FTP

2. Follow the instructions in the following walkthrough to install the FTP service:

   • Installing and Troubleshooting FTP 7

1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager:

   • If you are using Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2:

     • On the taskbar, click Server Manager, click Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

   • If you are using Windows 8 or Windows 8.1:

     • Hold down the Windows key, press the letter X, and then click Control Panel.
     • Click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

   • If you are using Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2:

     • On the taskbar, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

   • If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7:

     • On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Control Panel.
     • Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

2. In the Connections pane, expand the server name, expand the Sites node, and then click the name of the site.

3. In the site's Home pane, double-click FTP User Isolation.
   

4. On the FTP User Isolation page, under Isolate users. Restrict users to the following directory:, select FTP home directory configured in Active Directory and then click Set.
   

5. In the Set Credentials dialog box, enter a user name and password in the User name and Password boxes. Enter the password again in the Confirm Password box, and then click OK.

6. In the Actions pane, click Apply.

For additional information about how to set up the Active Directory, see the "Isolate Users Using Active Directory Mode" section in the Hosting Multiple FTP Sites with FTP User Isolation (IIS 6.0) topic.

The <activeDirectory> element is configured at the site level.

None.

The following sample displays a <userIsolation> element for an FTP site that configures the FTP service to use Active Directory for user isolation that site, and configures the credentials for the connection to the Active Directory server.

<site name="ftp.example.com" id="5">
  <application path="/">
    <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="c:\inetpub\www.example.com" />
  </application>
  <bindings>
    <binding protocol="ftp" bindingInformation="*:21:" />
  </bindings>
  <ftpServer>
    <userIsolation mode="ActiveDirectory">
      <activeDirectory adUserName="MyUser"
        adPassword="[enc:RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider:57686f6120447564652c2049495320526f636b73:enc]"
        adCacheRefresh="00:02:00" />
    </userIsolation>
    <security>
      <authentication>
        <basicAuthentication enabled="true" />
        <anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
      </authentication>
    </security>
  </ftpServer>
</site>

The following examples configure Active Directory user isolation for an FTP site.

appcmd.exe set config  -section:system.applicationHost/sites /[name='ftp.example.com'].ftpServer.userIsolation.mode:"ActiveDirectory" /commit:apphost
appcmd.exe set config  -section:system.applicationHost/sites /[name='ftp.example.com'].ftpServer.userIsolation.activeDirectory.adUserName:"MyUser" /[name='ftp.example.com'].ftpServer.userIsolation.activeDirectory.adPassword:"MyPassword" /[name='ftp.example.com'].ftpServer.userIsolation.activeDirectory.adCacheRefresh:"00:02:00" /commit:apphost
