Connectors¶
Connector types¶
Connectors are the one and only way to get data into the IAM Core. There are a few general types of connectors:
First party connector¶
A first party connector is connector where Fortytwo maintains the integration, such as for Visma Enterprise Plus, and you as a customer only provides the required input configuration, such as a username and password, client id and secret, certificate, etc.
After a first party connector is created, it has the state "Created", until the first party connector runtime of the IAM Core picks it up and creates a job for it, after which it becomes "Provisioned".
API based connector¶
AN API based connector, is a connector where you as the customer can populate data from any system, using our Connector API or our Connector PowerShell Module.
