UserIsolationMode Metabase Property

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

The UserIsolationMode property defines the isolation type for the corresponding FTP site.

If UserIsolationMode is set to 0, there is no user isolation. This setting is the default and is backward-compatible.

If the property is set to 1, a client authenticates using local or domain accounts and is then sent to a folder under the root that matches the user name. This setting is called "Isolated (Locally)," and it supports users who do not want to use Active Directory.

If the property is set to 2, user isolation is dependent on Active Directory. This setting is called "Isolated (Active Directory)," and it is primarily used by Internet service providers (ISPs) and other customers who want to set up large numbers of FTP accounts.

If you set this property to 2, you should also set the DefaultLogonDomain Metabase Property, ADConnectionsPassword Metabase Property, and ADConnectionsUserName Metabase Property properties.
