IDM 7.2.2

Connector info manager

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

You need to create a ConnectorInfoManager and a ConnectorKey for your connector.

The ConnectorKey uniquely identifies the connector instance. The ConnectorKey class takes a bundleName (the name of the Connector bundle), a bundleVersion (the version of the Connector bundle) and a connectorName (the name of the Connector).

The ConnectorInfoManager retrieves a ConnectorInfo object for the connector by its connector key.

You must initiate a specific connector info manager type, depending on whether your connector is local or remote. The following samples show how to create a local connector info manager and a remote connector info manager.

Acquiring a Local Connector Info Object (Java)
ConnectorInfoManagerFactory fact = ConnectorInfoManagerFactory.getInstance();
File bundleDirectory = new File("/connectorDir/bundles/myconnector");
URL url = IOUtil.makeURL(bundleDirectory,
     "/dist/org.identityconnectors.myconnector-1.0.jar");
ConnectorInfoManager manager = fact.getLocalManager(url);
ConnectorKey key = new ConnectorKey("org.identityconnectors.myconnector",
     "1.0", "MyConnector");
Acquiring a Remote Connector Info Object (Java)
ConnectorInfoManagerFactory fact = ConnectorInfoManagerFactory.getInstance();
File bundleDirectory = new File("/connectorDir/bundles/myconnector");
URL url = IOUtil.makeURL(bundleDirectory,
     "/dist/org.identityconnectors.myconnector-1.0.jar");
ConnectorInfoManager manager = fact.getLocalManager(url);
ConnectorKey key = new ConnectorKey("org.identityconnectors.myconnector",
     "1.0", "MyConnector");
