Standard DIrectory Mode on AD User

It's possible to configure this particular scheme in an a AD User like this example?
C:\\CerberusFTPRoot\%USER%\From_Company

C:\\CerberusFTPRoot\%USER%\To_Company

Where %USER% is the special variables replaced by user name, From_Company and To_Company are two virtual directory with different permissions where my company exchange file with the users. 
I have already properly configure inside a workflow the command "AddUserRequest" using Cerberus FTP SOAP Web Service to create new Cerberus User with the "standard virtual directory mode" settings to recreate the scheme in the sample.

Can i make the same thing registering an AD User using Cerberus FTP SOAP Web Service?

  Hey there Miriko,

  Active Directory accounts are always going to be configured for simple directory mode, if you decide to use any mode other than 'Use Default Group Directories and Permissions'. You find a bit more information around simple directory mode, here: https://support.cerberusftp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000032800-The-Virtual-Directory-System

  You'll want to map the user to a Cerberus group to modify this selection, which you can find here: https://support.cerberusftp.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001963230-Active-Directory-Mappings

  Finally, a layout of all of the different Default Virtual Directory Modes, can be found here: https://support.cerberusftp.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001963190-Default-Virtual-Directory-Mapping-for-AD-Users

  But regarding SOAP, at this time, you won't be able to use the same methods as you would for standard native users, as AD users do not exist within Cerberus as native users do. This being the case, we don't have a SOAP API call to manage AD mappings at this time. We do have an enhancement request open for this improvement, but I do not have an ETA on when it may make it to Cerberus.
