New versions of OIM connectors have been released in the
past few months(version
number is 11.1.1.x). These new releases bring
an important change to OIM connectors: they are based on the Identity Connector
Framework (IFC). The 11.1.1.5 documentation for the ICF is available at:
One of the things that ICF brings is the capability of
deploying connectors to an ‘Identity Connector Server’(but keep in mind you still need to deploy the connector to OIM as well). When using a connector
server, OIM will delegate to the connector server the execution of the provisioning
tasks. Except for the .NET based connectors (like AD and Exchange), the
connector server is an optional piece in an OIM topology and its use depends on the project requirements.
