Deploy a Connector with Custom Attributes

Use this procedure for deploying a connector that was shipped with CA IAM Connector Server and later customized.

Follow these steps:

1. Prepare to deploy connectors with custom attributes:
   1. Enable the relevant admin roles, and ensure that the approving user has at least the following roles:
      • Endpoint Manager
      • Provisioning Synchronization Manager

      If these roles are not enabled, the approval task will not be generated. This would prevent the connector from being deployed.

   2. Enable email notifications.
   3. Enable workflow.
   4. Configure Global policy-based workflow for the following events:
      • CreateEndpointType
      • ModifyEndpointType
      • DeleteEndpointType
2. Add the on-premise connector server to the cloud connector server.
3. Create a route and mark any of the endpoint types as managed by the on-premise connector server.
4. Open Connector Xpress, and follow these steps:
   1. Connect to the Provisioning Server using the Remote Server option.
   2. Access the required endpoint type.
   3. Update something in the metadata. For example, update the version number.
   4. Save the metadata file.
   5. Deploy the connector.
5. The tenant administrator can now log in to the User Console as a user with sufficient roles (defined in Step 1a), then search for the pending approval task and approve it.

The role definition is deployed, and the screens are now available in Identity Management.
