The Java Connector Server (Java CS) is a server component which handles hosting, routing to, and management of Java connectors. The Java CS provides a Java alternative to the C++ Connector Server (CCS). The Java CS is architecturally and functionally similar to the CCS, except that it is implemented in Java rather than C++. Consequently this allows you to write your connectors in Java. In addition, to the extent to which it is possible the Java CS is data-driven rather than code-driven, which allows the container (i.e. Java CS) to do much of the connector's work for it.

The Provisioning Server handles provisioning of users, and then delegates to connectors (using the Java CS or CCS ) to manage endpoint accounts, groups, and so on.

Note: For the most current technical information, see the JavaDoc included with the JCS SDK install. It may be slightly more up to date then the JavaDoc included in the CA Identity Manager bookshelf.
