Hello, In our MarkLogic 4.1-3 instance, we host various app servers and databases for multiple applications. We do so in a manner where each application is only able to access their data. For most of these, we create one ML user that serves as the application user. We were recently asked to support multiple roles and users for a single application, at which point we began researching how an application could self-administer their HTTP app server's security without gaining control over another application's data or configuration.
Hence the idea to provide a second security database, dedicated to an application. I am interested in this group's experience and thoughts, including: 1. If there is a preferred alternative 2. If one should start with a new database or modify a copy of the first 3. If there are concerns with temporarily rewiring the admin console to initially reconfigure a copy of the first database I found a multiple security database warning<http://markmail.org/message/yrtchp7iuva3zxxj?q=%22create%22+%22security+database%22+list:com%2Emarklogic%2Edeveloper%2Egeneral> posted by the highly revered Michael Blakeley a year ago. We do not presently use XQSync and all of our shared environments have the same OS. Nonetheless, I'd like to confirm if multiple security databases would preclude us from using XQSync. Many thanks for your thoughts and time. -Brent
