  2. In the Browse App Catalog modal, select an application, and click Next.

    Select the latest application version.

  3. Review the Application Integration information, and click Next.

  4. In the Application Details window, specify the name, description, application owners, and logo for the application.

  6. Click Create Application.

Configure provisioning

The generic Groovy Connector Toolkit runs a Groovy script for any operation, such as search, update, create, and others, on any external resource. The Groovy Connector Toolkit is not a complete connector in the traditional sense. Rather, it is a framework you use to write your own Groovy scripts to address the requirements of your implementation. For more information, refer to Groovy Connector Toolkit.

  1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console, on the Provisioning tab:

  2. Configure the following fields:

    Field Description

    Script Base Class

    Base class name for scripts (must derive from Script).

    Script Roots

    The root folder that stores the scripts. If the value is null or empty, the classpath value is used.

    Custom Sensitive Configuration

    Custom Sensitive Configuration script for Groovy ConfigSlurper.

    Schema Script

    The name of a connector file that uses a custom Groovy script to implement the ICF schema operation. The ICF schema operation lets a connector describe the types of objects that it can handle on the target system and the operations and options that the connector supports foreach object type.

    Test Script

    The name of a connector file that uses a custom Groovy script to implement the ICF test operation. The ICF test operation lets a connector test the connector configuration against the target system.

    Create Script

    The name of a connector file that uses a custom Groovy script to implement the ICF create operation. The ICF create operation lets a connector create objects on the target system.

    Update Script

    The name of a connector file that uses a custom Groovy script to implement the ICF update operation. The ICF update operation lets a connector update (modify or replace) objects on the target system.

    Authenticate Script

    The name of a connector file that uses a custom Groovy script to implement the ICF authenticate operation. The ICF authenticate operation lets a connector authenticate an object on the target system, usually with a unique identifier (username) and a password.

    Delete Script

    The name of a connector file that uses a custom Groovy script to implement the ICF delete operation. The ICF delete operation lets a connector delete objects on the target system.

    Resolve Username Script

    The name of a connector file that uses a custom Groovy script to implement the ICF resolve username operation. The ICF resolve username operation lets a connector resolve an object to its UID, based on its username.

    Search Script

    The name of a connector file that uses a custom Groovy script to implement the ICF search operation. The ICF search operation lets a connector search for objects on the target system.

    Customizer Script

    The name of the file that lets you customize the Apache HTTP client connection pool, proxy, default headers, timeouts, and so on.

    Target Directory

    Directory into which to write classes.

  3. Optionally, click Show advanced settings to set any of the following options:

    Field Description

    Warning Level

    The warning level of the compiler. If not set, the default value is 1.

    Min. Recompilation Interval

    Sets the minimum amount of time after a script can be recompiled. If not set, the default value is 100.

    Custom Configuration

    Custom Configuration script for Groovy ConfigSlurper.

    Tolerance

    The error tolerance, which is the number of non-fatal errors (per unit) that should be tolerated before compilation is aborted. If not set, the default value is 10.

    Debug

    If true, debugging code should be activated.

    Classpath

    The classpath for use during compilation.

    Disabled Global AST Transformations

    Sets a list of global AST transformations which should not be loaded even if they are defined in META-INF/org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation files. By default, none are disabled.

    Verbose

    If true, the compiler should produce action information.

    Source Encoding

    The encoding for source files. If not set, the default value is UTF-8.
