Connector Servers

A connector server is a Provisioning Server component that manages connectors. It can be installed on the Provisioning Server system or on a remote system.

There are two types of connector servers:

• The Java Connector Server (Java CS) manages connectors written in Java
• The C++ Connector Server (CCS) manages connectors written in C++

C++ Connector Server

The C++ Connector Server is a connector server that manages C++ connectors. It can be installed on the Provisioning Server or on a remote system. The C++ Connector Server provides an object-oriented application framework that simplifies development of connectors, which are responsible for communication between the C++ Connector Server and the endpoint.
