Web Access Multitenancy

asked on April 2, 2014

Hello,

 

We are interested in implement Laserfiche Webaccess in a Multi-Tenant infraestructure, that is a unique web site where some of our costumers can connect and access their files without being able to see the documents from another customer, assuming all of them have their files on different repositories.

 

We would like to know if you already have any development on that area, either a different version of Webaccess or a development kit that we could use on our website, or any kind of documentation you may have on the subject.

 

Regards,

I believe you can do this a couple of ways. You could have one repository and create folders at the root of the repository for each client. You could then create a group for each client and put their users in that group and then assign that group access to only their client folder. I know that you can reference a specific repository using a search URL. I would imagine it would also work to log into a repository, but I'm not certain.

 

I also believe you could have multiple repositories and using the SDK create logins on a website that would allow the use to log into their repository only. I have not done this specifically, but have seem similar things done with applications.

Can you elaborate more on what sort of multi-tenancy functionality you are missing from the existing Web Access functionality?

 

If each client has a separate repository, login rights are configurable per repository, so clients would not be able to log into a different client's repository. For the login page, if you specify the database name in the URL, like http://machinename/Laserfiche/Login.aspx?db=databasename, then the specified database is automatically selected from the DB dropdown.

 

We also have some documentation on creating a custom login page if the default login page does not fulfill your needs.
