multi-tenancy in v 0.40

[Flavio Araki]

First of all, thanks for the great open source software!

I'm trying to setup a multi-tenancy shop.

My understanding of multi-tenancy is that with a single instance of the marketplace I can manage multiple sellers,

so in this case, with a single instance of Mayocat Shop I can manage multiple sellers (tenants).

I followed the installation steps until the end (i.e. turned multi-tenancy: activated: true) and some questions started to pop out.

First, there were authentication issues. It seems to be required to have entity.type == 'user' and entity.tenant_id == null, but

my admin user (the first user that I created through the API call) has entity.tenant_id not null, so I changed

org.mayocat.accounts.store.jdbi.mapper.UserMapper and UserDAO.sql.stg to stop checking for null entity.tenant_id.

After the changes above, I was able to login and create a new tenant.

Then, from the tenants list (http://<host>:8080/manager/#/) I clicked on the "Back-office" link expecting it to show me the

tenant's page, but the URL was broken. When I created the tenant, I chose id = "1", so the href for the Back-office link is

"http://1./admin/".

Because the URL generated does not use my current hostname, nor my current port number, I wondered if "Mayocat Shop

multi-tenancy" means "multi-instance". Also, in the documentation, it is mentioned that "in Mayocat, a shop has its own folder"

but I can't find the folder for the newly created tenant.

Could you clarify how multi-tenancy works in Mayocat?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Flavio,

Sorry for the late reply. See my answers below :

That's correct.

Actually the global admin user is supposed to have it's tenant set to
null, and local admins have a tenant id set. The issue is not in the
authentication code, but rathers in the code that creates the first
global admin. This will be fixed in next release

The correct form would then be : http://1.<host>:8080/ (currently
mayocat uses sub-domain to resolve tenants). The fact the URL is wrong
in the back-office is a bug, and it's fixed in next release as well.

Yep, currently this one has to be created manually, under the data
directory. For example, in your case, it's
"path/to/data/dir/tenants/1/"

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
