<br>
The ConnectorServer uses Windows Assembly mechanism to discover
the connectors. I believe this is the code
(LocalConnectorInfoManagerImpl in ApiLocal.cs)<br>
<br>
<tt>FileInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles("*.Connector.dll");</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>foreach (FileInfo file in files)</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>{</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> Assembly lib = Assembly.LoadFrom(file.ToString());</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> CollectionUtil.AddAll(_connectorInfo,
ProcessAssembly(lib));</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>}</tt><tt><br>
</tt><br>
The ProcessAssembly methods gathers the type information from the
assembly, and looks for ConnectorClassAttribute instances. That's
how it knows that these are ICF Connectors.<br>
<br>

<br>
In order to help you a bit with creating your own connector, I've
prepared a sample (empty) connector for you. Please see the latest
commit to <a href="https://github.com/Evolveum/openicf">Evolveum/openicf
project</a>.<br>
<br>
The connector is in the connectors\dotnet-sample directory.<br>
<br>
For building it I use the following two batch procedures - these
are not part of the commit; please create them manually:<br>
<br>
<b>env.bat</b> - sets up an environment:<br>
<br>
<tt>set WIX_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>set Path=%Path%;%WIX_HOME%\bin</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>set OPENICF_HOME=c:\openicf-home</tt><tt><br>
</tt><br>
Note that you should have the corresponding software installed
(WiX Toolset in this case).<br>
OPENICF_HOME points to a directory where the installation of
OpenICF/ConnId server is unpacked.<br>
<br>
For the building itself I use this one: <b>b.bat</b> :<br>
<br>
<tt>c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe
SampleDotNetConnector.sln /p:Configuration=Release
/p:ZipRelease=true</tt><br>
<br>
After building the connector, I simply unzip the file <b>Build\Sample.Connector-1.4.1.20283.zip</b>
into the OPENICF_HOME directory (c:\openicf-home) and start the
connector server.<br>
<br>
In midPoint I create the connector host object:<br>
<br>
<small><tt><connectorHost
xmlns=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3">"http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3"</a></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>
oid="91919191-76e0-59e2-86d6-44cc44cc4400"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> version="0"></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> <name>ICF Connector server on
localhost:8759</name></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> <hostname>127.0.0.1</hostname></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> <port>8759</port></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> <sharedSecret>...</sharedSecret></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt></connectorHost></tt><tt><br>
</tt></small><br>
And when I do the discovery operation on this connector host,
midPoint creates new Connector object named "ICF
Org.IdentityConnectors.Sample.SampleConnector v1.4.1.20283 @ICF
Connector server on localhost:8759".<br>
<br>
Then I can import a very simple resource definition that uses this
sample connector:<br>
<br>
<small><tt><resource
xmlns=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3">"http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3"</a></tt><tt><br>

</tt><tt>

</tt><tt> </icfc:configurationProperties></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> </connectorConfiguration></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt></resource></tt><tt><br>
</tt></small><br>
Of course, it does nothing, because the sample connector even does
not provide any schema. (I.e. Test connection from midPoint passes
first three steps and fails the fourth, related to connector
schema.) The only indication that something is going on is the
diagnostic messages that the sample connector writes to the
console:<br>
<br>
<small><tt>Press q to shutdown.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Press t for a thread dump.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Init called.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>CheckAlive called</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Schema called.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>CheckAlive called</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Schema called.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>CheckAlive called</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Schema called.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>CheckAlive called</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Test called</tt><tt><br>
</tt></small><br>
Anyway, I hope this will allow you to get started developing your
own connector.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Pavol<br>

I don't know of any reference document for that.<br>

Have you got any error messages in ConnectorServer log?<br>
