Abstract

A tool for inter-process communication in a multi-tenant environment. The tool creates an advertisement file for each tenant of a plurality of tenants. The tool locks a plurality of synchronization files prior to incrementing a semaphore, wherein the plurality of synchronization files correspond to the plurality of tenants, and wherein locking the plurality of synchronization files ensure that the semaphore is only decremented once per tenant. The tool searches for a response file corresponding to a specific tenant, wherein the response file includes metadata related to an information channel for communication with the specific tenant and information depicting a communication protocol used corresponding to the specific tenant. The tool unlocks the plurality of synchronization files. The tool establishes a connection, wherein the connection comprises an encrypted communication channel between the specific tenant and the attachment process mediated by a daemon.
