Configuring FTP for Local FTP Mailbox

FTP Users can be either generic FTP users, AS3 users, or LDAP users.

Username

The mailbox alias. This value is used by your trading partner to log in to your FTP server. Specify a value not already in use.

Password

The password for the mailbox. This value is used by your trading partner to log in to your FTP server.

User Home Directory

Defaults to a username subdirectory under the default root directory defined on the General tab (see Configuring local FTP user directories). To override this path for this user only, clear the Use Default Root\Username check box and click the ... button to change the home directory; or select a custom macro variable from the drop-down list.  See Using macro variables Using Macro Variables for a list of the applicable macros (Default Root Directory context). 

Subdirectories

Click Subdirectories to display the Local User Subdirectories dialog box. This dialog box displays host-level settings (read-only) for the current folder configuration and allows you to specify additional folders at the mailbox level in the Mailbox-level Settings > Others field. You can add multiple paths (one path per line) in the Others field. All paths must be relative and cannot include reserved macro variables (for example, %mailbox%).

Pipe Incoming Payload

Allows for this trading partner to send to your FTP server and redirect, or pipe, the incoming payload out through a different protocol. If the transfer out to the pipe mailbox fails, the transfer into the local mailbox also fails.

AS3 User

Select the AS3 User check box to designate the user as an AS3 user and enable the AS3 Mailbox: AS3 tab. See AS3 Mailbox.

LDAP Usergroup

Select the LDAP Usergroup check box to designate the mailbox as an LDAP user group mailbox and enable the Mailbox LDAP tab (see Configuring LDAP for Local FTP Mailbox. Many of the other fields on this tab are disabled when select the LDAP Usergroup check box.  An LDAP user group mailbox has the following features:

• The mailbox no longer corresponds to a single user, but rather a group of users configured in an external directory server.
• In addition to authenticating usernames and passwords through the external directory server, you can select the Use LDAP Home Directory check box to use the directory service to provide user home directory paths. If this option is not selected, and the Use Default Root\Username check box is selected, the Cleo Harmony, Cleo VLTrader, or Cleo LexiCom application dynamically appends the username to the root directory by way of a %username% macro variable.

Unlock

This button is enabled when the user has too many failed log in attempts. Mouse over the Unlock button to display when the user will be unlocked automatically or you must unlock the user manually. Click Unlock and then click Apply to unlock the user.
