Working with Multi-tenancy

The goal of multi-tenancy is to maximize resource sharing across multiple users (while hiding the fact that these users are on the same server) and to ensure optimal performance. You can register tenants in the Management Console, allowing tenants to maintain separate domains for their institutions.

JAVA_OPTS \
    -Dtenant.idle.time=30 \

All the EMM tenants can access the public Store, but tenants are always required to log in to view their private store. Before carrying out any tasks on the Management Console, we highly recommend you to change the default super tenant administrator password. 

Changing the default tenant password

Before carrying out any tasks on the Management Console, we highly recommend you to change the default super tenant administrator password. Follow the instructions below to change the default super tenant administrators password:

1. Open a command prompt:
• On Windows, choose Start -> Run, type cmd at the prompt, and press Enter.
• On Linux/Solaris, establish a SSH connection to the server or log in to the text Linux Console.

2. Execute one of the following commands, where <EMM_HOME> is the directory where you installed the product distribution:

   OS	Command
   Linux/Solaris	sh <EMM_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh
   Windows	<EMM_HOME>\bin\wso2server.bat --run

3. Log into the Management Console, using the following URL: http://localhost:9443/admin/carbon/
4. Enter the username as admin and the password as admin.
5. Click Sign-in.
6. Switch to the Configure tab.
   
7. Click Users and Roles and thereafter click User.
8. Click Change Password in the Actions column, in-line with the user admin and set a new password.
9. Click Change.
10. Log out and log in again with the new credentials.
