I'm trying to configure IIS FTP with aspnet authentication and having troubles with it in IIS 8 on Windows Server 2012. I used the guide below to try set it up (Note: this has worked successfully in the past for me on IIS 7.5 FTP sites)
http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/using-the-ftp-service/configuring-ftp-with-net-membership-authentication-in-iis-7
However in IIS 8 it works right up until I try to login to ftp using a valid account. I can view my roles and users in IIS Manager successfully after configuring connection strings and role/user providers, but cannot login to the FTP server. The following error is thrown:
530-User cannot log in.
Win32 error:
Error details: System.Web: Default Membership Provider could not be found.
530 End
Has the setup changed for this type of FTP authentication in IIS 8 and Windows Server 2012?
