Hello !

When someone connects to my instances communities, but from another instance, how do I know it's no spoofing involved?

Cheers

Okay so it's the lemmt server running my instance that checks it is the right user. Do you know how it is done ?

I reread your post, so it's a signature in the http call?

It's a https certificate connected to the domain name of the instance.
