CA IAM Connector Server

CA IAM Connector Server is a server component which handles hosting, routing to, and management of Java connectors. CA IAM Connector Server provides a Java alternative to the C++ Connector Server. It is architecturally and functionally similar to the C++ Connector Server, except that it has a Java API instead of a C++ API, which allows your connectors to be implemented in Java. In addition, CA IAM Connector Server is data-driven rather than code-driven, which allows more functionality to be addressed by the container (or CA IAM Connector Server) instead of by connectors themselves.

The Provisioning Server handles provisioning of users, and then delegates to connectors (using the C++ Connector Server or CA IAM Connector Server) to manage endpoint accounts, and groups.
