Abstract
In one embodiment, a request is received from a remote device of a user for configuring a tenant-unit of a storage system via a secure connection session. A secure multi-tenancy (SMT) module determines a first network identity associated with the secure connection session. The SMT module examines an SMT registry namespace associated with the tenant-unit of the tenant to determine a second network identity that has been assigned to the tenant-unit. The first network identity is compared with the second network identity. The request is allowed to configure the tenant-unit in response to determining that the first and second network identities match; otherwise, the request is denied.
