FusionAuth
CreateTenant with SourceTenantId does not behave as expected
I have created a tenant using Tenant APIs using the Default Tenant as a base, but trying to add customisations, in this case email settings.
POST api/tenant
{
"tenant": {
"sourceTenantId": "1477a639-1027-1fdb-b6cc-f19a162865a9",
"name": "foo",
"issuer":"foobar.com",
"emailConfiguration":{
"defaultFromEmail":"[email protected]",
"defaultFromName":"FooBar",
"host":"smtp.foobar.com",
"implicitEmailVerificationAllowed":false,
"password":"password",
"port":465,
"security":"SSL",
"username":"foobar"
},
"passwordEncryptionConfiguration":{
"encryptionScheme":"bcrypt",
"encryptionSchemeFactor":6
}
}
}
The result is satisfactory, as I get the new Tenant with the default configuration plus the customisations specified in the request.
On the other hand, when using the CreateTenant method of the client, if I specify in the SourceTenantId property the identifier of the base Tenant, the resulting Tenant does not have the custom properties.
func (h *Handler) CreateTenant(name string) (*fusionauth.TenantResponse, *fusionauth.Errors, error) {
tr := fusionauth.TenantRequest{
// if this property is uncommented, the result is the configuration of DefaultTenant
// SourceTenantId: "1477a639-1027-1fdb-b6cc-f19a162865a9",
Tenant: fusionauth.Tenant{
Name: name,
Issuer: "udrafter.com",
EmailConfiguration: fusionauth.EmailConfiguration{
DefaultFromEmail: "[email protected]",
DefaultFromName: "foobar",
Host: "smt.foobar.com",
ImplicitEmailVerificationAllowed: false,
Password: "password",
Port: 465,
Security: "SSL",
Username: "foobar",
},
PasswordEncryptionConfiguration: fusionauth.PasswordEncryptionConfiguration{
EncryptionScheme: "bcrypt",
EncryptionSchemeFactor: 6,
},
},
}
r, faerrors, err := h.FusionAuth.CreateTenant("", tr)
if err != nil {
return nil, faerrors, err
}
return r, faerrors, nil
}
I understand that this behaviour does not correspond to the behaviour obtained using Tenant APIs and to what is discussed in this section of the documentation:
sourceTenantId [UUID] OPTIONAL AVAILABLE SINCE 1.14.0
The optional Id of an existing Tenant to make a copy of. A unique tenant.name is required. If present, the tenant.id value will used for the new Tenant. All other values will be copied from the source Tenant to the new Tenant.
@josedelrio85 hmmm. So re-reading the issue, it appears that the client and the tenant API have different behavior when additional fields are added to a sourceTenantId call.
Is that correct?
One workaround is to create the tenant in two steps. Will that not work for you for some reason?
@mooreds Yes, the behaviour differs between a direct API call and the use of the library.
From my point of view, and following the indication in the documentation, I understand that the behaviour of the library function should be corrected.
I really opened the issue to comment on this difference so that you would be aware of it.
