SDKUPO Connector

The SDKUPO connector is an example of a connector that invokes user-specified external applications in response to user provisioning requests. The connector invokes user-specified external applications by using JavaScript in the operation bindings. Sample operation bindings are Pre Add Account, Post Add Account, and such. The script in the operation bindings calls external services, also known as program exits.

The SDKUPO Connector reuses the SDKDYN metadata but with some additional metadata relating to the program exits. Two exits are provided: one for sending email messages in response to provisioning requests, and one for logging the requests to a file. Thus, as with the SDKDYN connector, the SDKUPO connector has a flat namespace with virtual containers.

The script for the SDKUPO connector is based on the SDKSCRIPT connector. The code and bindings are in sdkuposcript_opbindings.xml. Additional functionality is added to the SCKSCRIPT connector code to handle the operation bindings and the execution of the exits. Although the bindings and exits can be defined and organized using an external editor, you can achieve the same result using Connector Xpress.

The SDKUPO Connector can operate in two modes:
