Multiple domain authentication using data management and storage node

A data management and storage (DMS) cluster, comprising:

• a plurality of peer DMS nodes that service a first compute infrastructure and a second compute infrastructure;
• and
• a distributed data store implemented across the peer DMS nodes;
• wherein each of the peer DMS nodes includes:
• a first container for a first domain of the first compute infrastructure, the first container including a first domain share generated from one or more snapshots of the first compute infrastructure stored in the distributed data store;
• a second container for a second domain of the second compute infrastructure, the second container including a second domain share generated from one or more snapshots of the second compute infrastructure stored in the distributed data store;
• and
• a domain manager configured to
• receive authentication information from a client device;
• determine a domain of the client device;
• send the authentication information to the first container to authorize the client device for access to the first domain share in response to the domain being the first domain;
• and
• send the authentication information to the second container to authorize the client device for access to the second domain share in response to the domain being the second domain.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to execute a method for providing a domain share to a compute infrastructure serviced by the DMS cluster, the DMS cluster including a plurality of peer DMS nodes, the method comprising:

• a domain manager of a DMS node creating a container for a domain of the compute infrastructure, the container including the domain share;
• the domain manager selecting the container for receiving a request to access the domain share from a client device of the compute infrastructure associated with the domain from a plurality of containers associated with different domains based on the domain of the client device corresponding to the domain of the container;
• the container receiving the request for access to the domain share from the domain manager;
• the container determining whether the client device is authorized to access to the domain share based on contacting the compute infrastructure with authentication information from the client device;
• and
• the domain share connecting with the client device in response to the client device being authorized to access the domain share.
