Extend the OpenKM features

OpenKM is normally configured as a single-instance single-tenant (ST) environment where the tenant (who owns the instance) will run a single instance that is installed on one server or across a cluster of them.

It may also be possible to run multiple OpenKM instances (Multitenant) on the same server; it will allow the instance owners to store different content and create personalized client environments. Some advantages are:

  • Share costs with all tenants.
  • Share support and personnel costs.

Multi-tenancy enables multiple independent tenants to be hosted on a single instance, installed either on a single server or across a cluster of them. The main instance is logically partitioned such that it will appear to each tenant that they are accessing a completely separate instance of OpenKM.
