A connector is the software that enables communication between CA IdentityMinder and an endpoint system. You can generate a dynamic connector using Connector Xpress, and you can develop a custom static connector in Java.
For each endpoint that you want to manage, you must have a connector. Connectors are responsible for representing each of the managed objects in your endpoint in a consistent manner. Connectors translate add, modify, delete, rename, and search LDAP operations on those objects into corresponding actions against the endpoint system.
A connector acts as a gateway to a native endpoint type system technology. For example, to manage computers running Active Directory Services (ADS) install the ADS connector on a connector server.
Users use Connector Xpress to generate and maintain the XML metadata for JDBC and JNDI dynamic connectors. Developers can also maintain data for other connectors manually, or adjust metadata for released connectors (for instance adding site-specific mappings for custom attributes).
