  • Patent number: 9141442
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automating or at least partially automating the creation of connectors for a provisioning system are described. A provisioning system can include a connector creation module that analyzes an application programming interface (API) of a target system. Based on this analysis, the provisioning system can automatically create a connector module that can communicate with the target system. The connector creator may also provide a user interface that enables users to customize the functionality of the connector module. For example, a user can specify which routines of the target system API will be called by the connector module, which user identity parameters of the target system will be updated, and so forth. The connector creation module can automatically generate code for the connector module that implements the user-specified functionality. The finished connector module can be executed to provision the target system.
