Is it posible to use IIS iisClientCertificateMappingAuthentication for FTPS access?

I was running Windows Server 2008 R2 IIS7.5 with FTP site with configured clientCertificateMappingAuthentication - it's Active Directory mapping. It allowed users login to my FTP site by using certificates mapped to their AD accounts instead of username/password.

Now I have Windows Server 2012 with IIS8 and I can see that there is solution without using Active Directory - it's iisClientCertificateMappingAuthentication. I've tried to configure it, but it looks like it isn't abble to achieve this result for FTP site. Here's snap of my temporary config:

FTP Authorization Rules - Allow All users FTP Authentication: Anon - Disabled, Basic - Disabled, IisManagerAuth - Enabled FTP SSL Settings - Configured SSL Server Certificate, Require SSL connections, Use 128-bit encryption IIS Manager Permissions - Added user foo/***

With above config, I am abble to connect with ftp server using Alex FTP:

ftps.exe -h ipipipip -port 21 -U foo -P *** -ssl All -l 

Now I want to map client with certificate. In Configuration Editor, in Section

system.webServer/security/authentication/iisClientCertificateMappingAuthentication From ApplicationHost.config <location path='ftpssite'>
I've set following:
defaultLogonDomain - *blank* enabled - true logonMethod - clearText oneToOneCertificateMappingsEnnabled - True oneToOneMappings - (Count=1) *here are base64 encoded cert mapping for user/pass foo/*** 

Now, I am abble to login with:

ftps.exe -h ipipipip -port 21 -U foo -P *** -ssl All -l 

and with:

ftps.exe -h ipipipip -port 21 -U foo -P *** -ssl All -sslClientCertPath "path\to\cert.pfx" -l 

but can't log with:

ftps.exe -h ipipipip -port 21 -ssl All -sslClientCertPath "path\to\cert.pfx" -l ERROR: User cannot log in. 

Soo it seems like iisClientCertificateMappingAuthentication affects nothing for my ftpssite.

Also, the

system.webServer/security/access
section, attribute sslFlags seems to do nothing for my ftpssite connect policy. When
Ssl, SslNegotiateCert, SslRequireCert
flags are set, nothing happens when client want to connect without his certificate.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible that iisClientCertificateMappingAuthentication affects only web applications, not ftp sites? Is using Active Directory only way to provide certificate authentication method for ftp site?
