The CSV file connector often serves when importing users, either for initial provisioning or for ongoing updates. When used continuously in production, a CSV file serves as a change log, often containing only user records that changed.
The following example shows an excerpt of the provisioner configuration.
The default connector-jar location is openidm/connectors.
Therefore the connectorHostRef must point to
"#LOCAL".
{
"connectorRef": {
"connectorHostRef": "#LOCAL",
"connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.csvfile.CSVFileConnector",
"bundleName":
"org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.csvfile-connector",
"bundleVersion": ""
}
}The following excerpt shows required configuration properties.
{
"configurationProperties": {
"filePath": "data/hr.csv",
"uniqueAttribute": "uid"
}
