WMS NTFS ACL Authorization

The WMS NTFS ACL Authorization plug-in is used to control access to your content based on permissions you have set on files and directories in your NTFS file system. You can use this plug-in to grant permissions for users and groups to access your Windows Media server.

Note

• If your publishing point references content files on a computer running Windows 2000 Server, you may have difficulty streaming the content due to differences in the way that Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 handle user account authorization and rights. If the two computers are members of the same domain, on-demand publishing points with the WMS NTFS ACL Authorization plug-in enabled that attempt to retrieve content from the computer running Windows 2000 Server will cause remote clients to receive an error message. Local clients are not affected. If the two computers are not members of the same domain, see To access content on a computer running Windows 2000 Server.
