Connector Xpress is CA IdentityMinder utility for managing dynamic connectors, mapping dynamic connectors to endpoints, and establishing routing rules for endpoints. You can use it to configure dynamic connectors to allow provisioning and management of SQL databases and LDAP directories.
Connector Xpress lets you create and deploy custom connectors without the technical expertise generally required when creating connectors managed by the Provisioning Manager.
You can also set up, edit, and remove a connector server configuration (both Java and C++) using Connector Xpress.
The primary input into Connector Xpress is the native schema of an endpoint system. For example, you can use Connector Xpress to connect to a RDBMS and retrieve the SQL schema of the database. You can then use Connector Xpress to construct mappings from those parts of the native schema that are relevant to identity management and provisioning. A mapping describes how the provisioning layer represents an element of the native schema.
Connector Xpress generates metadata that describes, to a dynamic connector, the runtime mappings to a target system.
The output of Connector Xpress is a metadata document produced when you complete your mappings. The metadata is an XML file that describes the structure of your connector to CA IAM CS.
It describes the Provisioning Server classes and attributes and how they are mapped to the native schema.
The metadata is used to create dynamic endpoint types on one or more Provisioning Servers.
Note: For more information on using Connector Xpress, see the Connector Xpress Guide, in the CA IdentityMinder bookshelf.
