Deploying the Provider In this file, create entries for the following text strings:
21.1 Overview
Providers are the starting point for developing generic technology connectors. Oracle Identity Manager provides a standard set of providers that you can use as building blocks of your generic technology connectors. For details about these providers, see Chapter 19, Predefined Providers for Generic Technology Connectors . If no suitable provider is available, you can develop a provider to fit your requirements. For details, see Chapter 20, Creating Custom Providers for Generic Technology Connectors . Finally, if generic technology connectors do not meet your integration requirements, you can make use of the programmatic options available with adapters. For details, see Part V, Requests and Approval Processes .21.2 Creating Generic Technology Connectors
This section explains how to create generic technology connectors. The procedure to create a generic technology connector is composed of the following steps: ■ Determining Provider Requirements ■ Selecting the Providers to Include ■ Addressing the Prerequisites ■ Using the Administrative and User Console to Create the Connector ■ Configuring Reconciliation ■ Configuring ProvisioningParts
