The fully functional SDK script connector bundled with this SDK is an example of a 100 percent scripted connector.
If you do not want to use a ready-made connector, you can create your own pure scripted connector using a templates provided by Connector Xpress. You can use the following two templates to create a pure scripted connector:
Using this template as a starting point, you can invoke your own JavaScript functions for each mandatory operation. This functionality relies on the 'instead of' operation binding. Before CA IAM CS performs any operation, it checks to see whether there are any operation bindings that tell it to invoke some logic before, after, or instead of the operation. Use the 'instead of' operation binding to invoke a JavaScript operation for your own pure scripted connector.
You must create an 'instead of' operation binding for each of the mandatory operations; Add, Delete, Modify, Search, and Lookup.
You can 'hot deploy' a pure scripted connector, which means that you do not have to change CA IAM CS for the new connector to become operational.
A hot deployed connector specifies its connector.xml content as part of its metadata 'connectorXML' at the namespace level (accounting for proper XML encoding of this value). This means that a scripted connector can be created on the fly on a running CA IAM CS without needing to restart it, or adding a static connector.xml on the CA IAM CS host. Also, any connector configuration changes that are typically specified in connector.xml can be made active without a CA IAM CS restart such as the connection pool settings.
