Allow more authentication services for multitenancy

Currently only one authentication services can be defined in Spectrum Virtualize systems. Although the storage allowes more authentication servers to be registered, but that for reliability (availability) reasons. (same domain)


The goal is to achieve multi-tenancy with Ownership Groups where each organization (tenant) has its own Active Directory, LDAP server. Different domain.

    Thank you for opening the request. I reviewed this Idea with the architects:

    Having a list of AD/LDAP servers and trying to validate someone's login by sending their username+password to each one in turn is not secure. You don't want your login details being sent to someone else's AD/LDAP server.
    What you want is for each tenant to be in a separate partition, with each partition having its own IP address and it own AD/LDAP server. Then if you try and login to the IP address for PartitionA you get one AD/LDAP server, but if you try and login to the IP address of PartitionB you get a different AD/LDAP server.

    We have reviewed this request and believe it is a good candidate for Virtualize.


    Thanks,
