Adding a connector

You can add a connector based on one of the connector types available in the application. An unmanaged connector should only be created based on custom connector types.

Before adding a connector, we recommend creating a separate user account that the third-party system will use to connect to the application. For the Email connector to work, you must first configure the mail server connection.

To add a connector:

  1. Log in to the web interface with the application administrator account.
  2. Select the Settings section, Connectors subsection.
  3. On the Connectors tab, open the details area by clicking Add connector.
  4. Configure the connector general settings:
    1. Select a connector type and enter a name for the connector.
    2. If you want to add an unmanaged connector (or a connector in ignore managed connector mode), enter the password of the connector certificate.

      The specified password is used to encrypt the certificate in the communication data package of the connector.

    3. Specify the address of the Control Node server.

      The connector will use the specified address to connect to the Control Node.

    4. Specify the node where you want to deploy the connector:
      • If you want to add a managed connector, you can specify one of the nodes with installed application components as the connector deployment node.
      • If you want to add an unmanaged connector, you must enter the IP address of the computer on which you want the software modules of the connector to run.
    5. Select the user that the third-party system will use to connect to the application through the connector. You must specify the name of one of the application users.
  5. Under Details, specify the advanced settings depending on the type of connector. The Details group of settings is not shown in the details area if the connector type does not allow managing advanced settings.
  6. If the type of the connector allows forwarding audit records and application messages, enable or disable the forwarding of this data using the corresponding check boxes.
  7. If necessary, enter a description for the connector.
  8. Click Save.

The new connector is added to the table of connectors.

If you added an unmanaged connector, Central Node generates a communication data package for the new connector, after which your browser saves the downloaded file. Depending on your browser settings, your screen may show a window in which you can change the path and name of the saved file. You will need to upload the contents of the new communication data package to the application that will use the connector.
