Remote connector serversystemconnectorconfiguration

System CzechIdM has available only certain types of connectors. If we want to use other connectors, such as Active Directory or Google Apps, we need to use a remote connector server allowing for other connectors.

On the system tab, you create a new system. In the detail of this system, check the option "Use remote connector server", filling in all form fields that the new system requires in order to connect to the remote system. To be able to connect, it is necessary to fill the host and port on which the connector is available on the remote server. If a server is secured by a password you need to fill in the password for connecting to the remote connector server. Password for connection is stored in the local confidential storage.

After saving all the necessary information to the remote connector of the server, you go to the "Configurations" tab. From now on, only connectors on the remote connector server will be available. The functionality of the remote connector server can be verified, just like the functionality of a local connector, using the "Test connector" button.

The remote server connector configuration form behaves just like a local connector form, meaning its definition is stored in the EAV attributes for the system it belongs to. As a key to EAV attributes are used the system name, connector name, and connector version. Therefore, it is possible on the remote connector server to have multiple connectors with a different version.
