Configuring Kerio Connect for multitenancy
Follow the Kerio Connect Quick Start to prepare for the general installation and setup of Kerio Connect. For a multi-tenant environment you may need to set up specific types of configuration as described here:
SaaS Licensing
In a hosted multi-tenant environment it is common that the user count may frequently fluctuate. To accommodate this behavior Kerio Connect supports a SaaS license that permits the use of a non-restricted user count. Details regarding the SaaS licensing program are available to registered Kerio partners in the Kerio Partner Portal.
Creating tenants
Kerio Connect separates tenants using domains. Each domain contains a unique set of users, groups, mailing lists, aliases, resources, and public folders. For more information refer to Domains in Kerio Connect.
