🔌 Connector SDK

Overview

For truly unique or proprietary systems without standards-based integration methods, Lumos offers a Connector SDK. This toolkit allows developers to create bespoke connectors that fit your organization’s specialized workflows and data models. By extending the Lumos platform’s core capabilities, you can ensure no system is left behind in your identity governance strategy.

Key Features

• End-to-End Connector Lifecycle: Create, test, deploy, and maintain custom connectors within a unified framework.
• Event-Driven Flows: Invoke custom logic at specific points in the provisioning lifecycle, such as before user creation or after an update.
• Comprehensive Documentation: Lumos provides detailed guides, sample code, and best practices for building robust, secure connectors.

Real-World Example

• Scenario: A services firm has a 20-year-old mainframe-based risk management tool that is critical for compliance. By writing a custom connector, the firm integrates it with Lumos to automate user onboarding, role assignment, and periodic access reviews.
• Outcome: The once siloed mainframe system now participates in the company’s identity governance program, significantly reducing the manual effort of provisioning and auditing high-risk access.
• Implementation: Used the Connector SDK to create a connector implementing system-specific protocols, with full support for provisioning, deprovisioning, and access reconciliation.

Benefits

• Complete Framework: Comprehensive development tools and utilities.
• Flexible Architecture: Support for various protocols and data formats
• Enterprise Readiness:Built-in support for caching, logging, and monitoring

Considerations

• Requires installing and configuring the Lumos Agent on-premise, which may involve firewall rules and server provisioning
• Must maintain development expertise for custom connectors
• Need to implement proper testing and validation procedures
• Should document connector implementation and maintenance procedures
