The independent module IC (Identity Connector) was created to communicate with the surrounding systems (provisioning / reconciliation/ synchronization). The purpose of this module is to provide an interface for communication with the systems.

Since it wasn't desirable to be dependent only on one specific product implementing connectors (Sun ICF, OpenICF, ConnId), a separate implementation which enables implementing of the frameworks was created. In addition, it will also enable creation of proprietary implementations of connectors. The advantage of these connectors will be their dependence on our interface only, which we will be able to alter and expand later (a proprietary implementation can be, for example, "virtual system").
