3.0 Creating Custom Connectors

CloudAccess provides the NetIQ Access Connector Toolkit (ACT) that allows you to create custom connectors. If you need help creating a custom connector to use with CloudAccess, Priority Support customers have the option to open a service request with NetIQ Technical Support (NTS). NTS is available to provide toolkit support as well as to configure the connectors to work with integrated applications. Additional information from the SaaS provider is usually required.

NOTE:Before you contact NetIQ Technical Support, please complete the appropriate worksheet for the connector type that you want to create. See Custom Connector Worksheets.

The Access Connector Toolkit facilitates custom connector development efforts without coding or scripting. You can create custom connectors for identity-aware web service or applications that use the following authentication methods for single sign-on:

After you create a connector, you must export it from the toolkit as a file that you can import into CloudAccess. You can use the CloudAccess administration console to import and enable the connector, and to create appmarks and to map policies for the web service or application.
