This document describes how to create a custom connector using SailPoint’s OpenConnector framework.

This is the companion discussion topic for the documentation at https://documentation.sailpoint.com/connectors/custom_source_config/help/idn_custom_connector_configuration/implementing_custom_connectors.html

This documentation misses some key points.

The applicationXml/source config example here is wrong:

If the example is deployed the value which was set via POST https://sailpoint.api.identitynow.com/v3/connectors will get replaced by the value of the connector attribute in the XML file.

Also the documentation for the UI elements doesn’t mention that the value of an input field with type=secret will get encrypted for transport to the VA. There’s also no mention in the documentation on how do decrypt them.

The documentation here also doesn’t really have an easy to understand structure. Having a step by step guide for deploying the ExampleRule in the openconnector framework download (which is also fairly hidden) would be helpful.

The current documentation is like Frankenstein’s monster sewn together from different, non-matching parts.
