<p>Radovan,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is very welcome news. Higher education has long needed an open source connector framework with broad support from an active community of adopters. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The Internet2 Trust and Identity in Research and Education (TIER) Initiative is evaluating midPoint as a possible reference implementation of a provisioning engine and an entity registry. We believe that by integrating an entity registry and provisioning
engine with Grouper and Shibboleth we will be able to recommend and support a comprehensive, open source, standards-based identity and access management (IAM) solution. We understand that many institutions of higher education and research will already have
some components of IAM infrastructure that they prefer to keep. The TIER integration strategy is designed to support hybrid architectures--as long as the legacy components can be wrapped with TIER-defined interfaces, primarily RESTful APIs and/or message-based
integration points.</p>

<p> With thanks, --Keith Hazelton, Chair of the TIER Data Structures and APIs Working Group</p>

<br>
I have just finished the Connector Development Guide:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Connector+Development+Guide">https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Connector+Development+Guide</a><br>
<br>
This is guide how to develop ConnId connectors that work well with <br>
midPoint. Something like this was missing for a long time.<br>
Please let me know if there is something that is missing or something <br>
that is difficult to understand.<br>
