[hono-dev] Multi-Tenancy configuration in Qpid dispatch router

["Azhagappan Balasubramanian (INST/ECS4)" <balasubramanian.azhagappan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 

Hi There,

 

I have a question regarding the multi-tenant configuration in Hono’s Qpid dispatch router. Currently tenants like DEFAULT_TENANT, anotherTenant are configured as Groups within the broker’s virtual host „hono“.

 

As far as I could see there are also other ways to configure like

1. A separate virtual host for each tenant

2. The Qpid listener also a multi-tenant boolean flag that can be configured in qdrouterd.json - https://github.com/apache/qpid-dispatch/blob/master/python/qpid_dispatch/management/qdrouter.json#L665 (not sure how the tenants can be configured after that but still interesting to find out)

 

There must a reason why the multi-tenancy was done differently in Qpid dispatch router than the obvious choice like separate virtual hosts. Can any one point me in the right direction to find it?

 

Regards,

Bala
