#SET UP WINDOWS FTP SERVER WITH BASIC AUTH PASSWORD#

Wing FTP Server supports using an LDAP(or LDAPS) database for authenticating users, and we have tested it successfully with OpenLDAP and Microsoft's Active Directory. Otherwise, login has failed.Ģ-2) if the account does not exist, do AD authentication.Ģ-2-1) After completing the AD authentication, check if BOB has been mapped to a local user.Ģ-2-1-1) If 'BOB' is mapped to a local user named 'Local_BOB', then it will get all the attributes of 'Local_BOB'.Ģ-2-1-2) If there is no mapping for 'BOB', take the AD authentication 'Default Home Dir' as its home directory.Ģ-2-2) If the AD authentication fails, the login fails too.

If password is correct, your login is successful. Wing FTP server user authenticates sequence:ġ) User 'BOB' login with password 'BOB2010'.Ģ) Check the local user account to see if there is an account called 'BOB'.Ģ-1) if it exists, further checks the local password. If you log in with will have all the functions belong to the Jack_Local like virtual directories, group memberships, permissions, and other settings. Specify a domain name for the domain controller (DC), it is optional.Īfter the mapping, you can log in the server with or Jack_Local/local_password. Since the version 6.3.2, the wildcard '*' is supported for the Windows AD username, so you can write the mapping rule as: Tester*:LocalTester First, create a local user at 'Domains -> Users -> Add User', then click the button 'Add AD Users Mapping', input a new line in the format of ' ADUser:LocalUser' (AD username and Local username is separated by a colon).

If you want to have more control to the AD user like a local user of WingFTP, you can map the AD user to a local user. If you enable 'Windows Authentication', you need to specify a default home directory for the AD account.Īnd if you want each AD account to have its own home directory, please enable the checkbox 'Create a folder under default home dir using the login name for each user'. Wing FTP Server can handle Windows NTLM or Windows Active Directory authentication, without the need to import users or sync user data manually. You need to fill the field 'UnixSocket' if you are using Linux/Unix system. You need to create a MySQL database 'wftp_database' for the first time. If your database system is MySQL, we suggest you use 'MySQL' instead of 'ODBC', because it can connect to MySQL database directly through C API, much faster than 'ODBC'. When everything is fine, user/group data can be stored in this database through using an ODBC driver. If you want to use ODBC database, just enter the ODBC source name (DSN), or username/password if you have. If you use MySQL, please create a MySQL database first, the default database name is 'wftp_database'. Note: The server will automatically create all the database tables for the first time. MySQL: Store your user/group data in MySQL database. ODBC: Store your user/group data in ODBC database. XML: Store your user/group data in XML files. Wing FTP Server supports several authenticating/storage methods: XML files, ODBC database, MySQL database, Windows authentication (NTLM or Active Directory), and LDAP authentication.
