The Universal Connector allows you to connect any application to Youzer, provided that the user management of this application can be scripted via SQL or Powershell requests.
The Universal Connector is a "Swiss Army knife" connector. It connects to on-premise infrastructures to control applications not initially designed to be automatable. The Universal Connector connects to the databases of business applications to manage account creations and suspensions in SQL, for example, for accounts stored in a "users" table in the business application's proprietary database.
This connector supports the main database technologies (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, etc.) and also allows you to launch PowerShell scripts if your application can be controlled by PowerShell. This latter case can be particularly useful if your application is in SSO with Active Directory and you simply want to manage users' membership in a security group giving access to your application.
The attributes you can manage are all those of your application since this connector is fully configurable. You can define the attributes, the mappings between the fields of your application and the attributes on Youzer, as well as the SQL queries or Powershell scripts allowing to carry out the operations of the connector (import, creation, modification, suspension of accounts etc...)
The universal connector works with a locally installed agent that acts as a proxy between your infrastructure and the Youzer platform. This agent launches creation, modification, etc. operations and communicates the information to the Youzer platform. There is no need to open specific ports inbound on your firewall because the agent only communicates outbound.
