Connector Implementation
You implement Connectors using a combination of the following:
- Core connector code targeting an endpoint type technology.
- Validator and converter plug-in code which can be wired into your implementation using XML configuration.
- User maintained XML metadata, managed with Connector Xpress, drives configured plug-ins.
- Reusing existing connector implementations through inheritance, and only coding the minimal specializations required.
- Specializing existing connector behavior by using method-style or script-style opbindings, which are run before, instead of, or after targeted LDAP operations on specified target object classes.
