Connectors

A connector is BIAM's connection to a target system: AD, NextCloud, a core system, a legacy app. Whatever the system offers — a full API, a partial CLI, or nothing but a Windows GUI — there is a path to govern it:

Credentials

Depending on the system's auth type: privileged user + password, or token/API key (encrypted, never shown back). A credential expiry date can be set: BIAM warns at 7/3/1/0 days and weekly once expired.

Health

• Manual connection test at any time.
• Automatic canary every 5 minutes against every active connector.
• Circuit breaker: after several consecutive task failures the connector turns red and new tasks are held (not lost); once healthy, they drain automatically. Every transition notifies connector administrators.

Packages (.biampkg)

Packaged connectors are installed from the Bayoex Hub or offline (upload the package + its signature; local verification, no internet). Rules:

• Every published version is immutable: a fix is always a new version.
• The catalog flags when a major update is available (and which new capabilities it brings); minor ones are never offered.
• Local rollback to a previously installed version, in one click.

Per-action overrides

For special cases, a specific action (create account, reset password…) can be resolved by a script or an RPA (e.g. AutoIt) instead of the driver, with its own failure policy: abort sibling tasks on the same connector, continue, or retry.
