FTP with access list

Hello,

I'd like to limit the access of alfresco's FTP to a group of user. All example I've seen only include users. Is it possible? Could someone point me to the right documentation?

I've tried to include my properties in the file subsystems/fileServers/default/default/file-servers.properties
filesystem.acl.global.defaultAccessLevel=Node
filesystem.acl.global.userAccessControls=admin
filesystem.acl.global.userAccessControls.value.admin.accessType=Write

It didn't worked so I added them in the alfresco-global.properties now it work for x user. But it is not really usable, I'd like my admin to be able to change access of my user on demand.

Is it possible?


I'm using the enterprise version, my user comes from ldap, my group are defined in alfresco.

Thanks in advance for you help,
Best Regards
Prignony

If I understand correctly then your requirement is - admin user should have the capability to specify which users can access alfresco repository through FTP.

A quick suggestion from my perspective about how to achieve this implementation. This would not be the best suggestion. Just an approach which comes to my mind.

1. Define a group in alfresco repository (FTP_USERS_GROUP)
2. You need to do a bit of a customization by writing your own custom FTP Authenticator, which will authenticate if the user is a valid user and belongs to the above group or not.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
