Apache Ant
Apache Ant is a software tool for automating software build processes. It is similar to make but is written in Java, and is best suited to building Java projects.
Apache Directory Server (ApacheDS)
The Apache Directory Server (ApacheDS) is an embeddable LDAP server written in Java.
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.
connector
A connector is the software that enables communication between a Provisioning Server and an endpoint system. A dynamic connector can be generated by Connector Xpress, and a custom static connector can be developed in Java or C++.
Connector Xpress
Connector Xpress is a utility for managing dynamic connectors, mapping dynamic connectors to endpoints, and establishing routing rules for endpoints.
converter
A converter is a Java class used by the Java CS infrastructure for converting data to and from endpoint-specific formats.
deployment
Deployment describes two different actions, saving metadata from Connector Xpress to an endpoint in the Provisioning Server or making a new connector implementation available to the Java CS by placing its jcs-connector-*.jar file into the <jcs_home>/lib directory.
directory information tree (DIT)
A directory information tree (DIT) is a tree of objects presented to clients by an LDAP server in which the clients can directly name and manipulate those objects by issuing LDAP commands.
Distinguished Name (DN)
A Distinguished Name (DN) is a unique name for an entry in a directory service. In LDAP, this consists of its Relative Distinguished Name (RDN) constructed from some attributes in the entry, followed by the parent entry's DN. The DN is analogous to a full filename, and the RDN is analogous to a relative filename.
dynamic connector
A dynamic connector has metadata that is generated and maintained by end users using Connector Xpress. The metadata drives the behavior of the dynamic connector at runtime.
endpoint
An endpoint is a specific installation of a platform or application, such as Active Directory or Microsoft Exchange, which communicates with Identity Manager to synchronize information. An endpoint is managed by a connector server using a specific connector.
endpoint Type
An endpoint type is a logical grouping of endpoints. There is one connector for each endpoint type, but there can be multiple endpoint systems for each connector.
eTrust Admin Server
See Provisioning Server.
Java Connector Server (Java CS)
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).
JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity)
JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is a Java API for executing SQL statements against relational databases.
JDK (Java Development Kit)
JDK (Java Development Kit) is a software development kit for producing Java applications.
JIAM (Java Identity and Access Management)
JIAM (Java Identity and Access Management) is a Java front end to the Provisioning Server.
JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface)
JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) is a Java API that enables access to naming and directory services such as LDAP servers.
JVM (Java Virtual Machine)
JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is an execution environment that converts Java bytecode to machine language and executes it.
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a software protocol for locating organizations, individuals, and other resources such as files and devices in a network, whether on the public Internet or on a corporate intranet. An LDAP directory is a simple tree hierarchy which distributed among many servers.
Log4j
Log4j is a popular Java logging library used primarily as a debugging tool, and in Java CS custom connector development.
metadata
Metadata is XML data that describes the structure of a connector to the Java CS.
namespace
A namespace is a specific type of endpoint system.
See endpoint type.
option
See Connector.
Provisioning Server
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.
SuperAgent
See C++ Connector Server.
validator
A validator is a Java class that checks the validity of individual values, attributes, or an entire object class. The Java CS uses validators to ensure that data values meet specific requirements before being passed to or from the endpoint system for processing.
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.
