Abstract
The techniques described herein facilitate scope-based certificate deployment for secure dedicated tenant access in multi-tenant, cloud-based content and collaboration environments. In some embodiments, a method is described that includes receiving an incoming authentication request from an access system, wherein the authentication request includes metadata, extracting the metadata from the authentication request, and processing the metadata to identify a tenant corresponding to the request. A tenant-specific certificate associated with the tenant is then accessed and provided to the access system for validation by a third-party certificate authority.
