The first Connector that Belkast was tasked with developing was a JDBC Connector. This assignment was particularly advantageous, as one of our team members possessed a background as a Database Administrator. His expertise extended beyond database scripting to include the ability to diagnose and resolve potential issues efficiently.
Connector development frequently encompasses more than just the Identity Management component. It often requires extensive involvement in the configuration of the target application as well.
As a result, developers are regularly called upon to assume dual roles: they must not only focus on the technical aspects of Identity Management but also ensure that the application itself is correctly configured to integrate seamlessly with the Connector. This dual responsibility demands a versatile skill set, enabling developers to navigate both domains effectively:
- Needs to know how the Identity Manager Connector works
- Needs to have some knowledge of how the application works
Belkast has experience with over a dozen IDM Connectors, which are shown in the list below.
