OIM Exchange Connector

In this post, I will briefly talk about the OIM's Exchange Connector which is certified with 2007 and 2010 versions, required components and process flow.

Well the process flows is something like below.

1. Exchange Adapters invokes the Exchange Connector Bundle.
2. Connector Bundle is installed on a .NET Connector Bundle. So you will have to install a connector bundle on a windows box which is joined to AD Exchange Domain.
3. Exchange Connector bundle via Remote Shell invokes the Windows Power Shell 2.0 which is again on the Connector Server.
4. Power Shell invokes Windows Remote Management (WinRM) 2.0.
5. WinRM executes provisioning powershell cmdlets.
6. This finally invokes MS exchange server for create and other operations.

From the above, the required components are :-

• .NET Connector Server
• PowerShell 2.0
• WinRM 2.0
•
