Setting user access with the custom authentication extension

Question

I am using the custom authentication extension to control access to CompleteFTP. In the past this has worked well since we only ever had one directory and all users got the same access.  However, now I would like to create multiple directory structures with different access based on the user.  So far in CompleteFTP I've done the following:

* Setup separate root folders with different Owners and Groups

* Setup separate Users and Groups with appropriate permissions

According to the documentation, overriding the TemplateUserName should do what I want...base on access in my system use the corresponding template user in CompleteFTP. However, the online documentation appears to be out of date since the method is now deprecated.

So my question is how do I control folder access in CompleteFTP while authenticating against an external system.

Answer 1

That sounds like a neat way of implementing your requirement.

The property is still available but is now called LogInAsUserName to match the name used in CompleteFTP Manager.  We'll update the documentation.  Thanks for letting us know.

Comments

I did see the new property, however, unlike TemplateUserName it's not virtual and has no setter, so it's not clear to me how to use it.

OK, we will add the ability to change LogInAsUserName.  Please open a support ticket so that we can send you the modified version when it's ready.
