MultiTenancy can be enabled in the appsettings file by updating “MultiTenancy” flag to true.
"AppSettings": {
“MultiTenancy”: true
}
Connection Strings
The connection strings for the EdFi_Admin and EdFi_Security databases are configured differently depending on whether the MultiTenancy feature is enabled or disabled.
Single-Tenant Configuration (the default)
In a single-tenant configuration, there is only one EdFi_Admin and EdFi_Security used by Admin API.
The connection strings are in the "ConnectionStrings" section, as follows:
"ConnectionStrings": {
"EdFi_Admin": "Server=(local); Database=EdFi_Admin; Integrated Security=True; Application Name=AdminApi;",
"EdFi_Security": "Server=(local); Database=EdFi_Security; Integrated Security=True; Application Name=AdminApi;"
}
Multi-Tenant Configuration
In a multi-tenant configuration, each tenant has its own EdFi_Admin and EdFi_Security databases.
The connection strings are organized under distinct tenant entries in a "Tenants" section, as follows:
"Tenants": {
"Tenant1": {
"ConnectionStrings": {
"EdFi_Admin": "Server=(local); Database=EdFi_Admin_Tenant1; Integrated Security=True; Application Name=AdminApi;",
"EdFi_Security": "Server=(local); Database=EdFi_Security_Tenant1; Integrated Security=True; Application Name=AdminApi;"
}
},
"Tenant2": {
"ConnectionStrings": {
"EdFi_Admin": "Server=(local); Database=EdFi_Admin_Tenant2; Integrated Security=True; Application Name=AdminApi;",
"EdFi_Security": "Server=(local); Database=EdFi_Security_Tenant2; Integrated Security=True; Application Name=AdminApi;"
}
}
}
