CA IAM CS is a server component which handles hosting, routing to, and management of Java connectors. CA IAM CS provides a Java alternative to the C++ Connector Server (CCS). CA IAM 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 CA IAM CS is data-driven rather than code-driven, which allows the container (i.e. CA IAM CS) to do much of the connector's work for it.

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

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