Connector Xpress Overview

Connector Xpress is a CA Identity Minder utility for managing dynamic connectors, mapping dynamic connectors to endpoints, and establishing routing rules for endpoints. You can use it to configure dynamic connectors to provision and manage of SQL databases.

Connector Xpress lets you create and deploy custom connectors without the technical expertise required when creating connectors managed by the Provisioning Manager.

You can also set up, edit, and remove a connector server configuration (both Java and C++) using Connector Xpress.

The primary input into Connector Xpress is the native schema of an endpoint system. For example, you can use Connector Xpress to connect to an RDBMS and retrieve the SQL schema of the database. You can then use Connector Xpress to construct mappings from those parts of the native schema that are relevant to identity management and provisioning. A mapping describes how the provisioning layer represents an element of the native schema.
