| Known Indirect Subclasses |
Interface for user-specific implementation details of the connector.
Implementations must be thread-safe. Implementations are discouraged from keeping any state locally except perhaps soft-state such as a connection cache.

Public Methods
public abstract void init (IdentityConnectorContext context)
Initializes the connector with the current context.
Initialization is the ideal time to start any threads to do extra behind-the-scenes work.
The context allows access to other useful objects that can be used at any time such as
the IdentityService.
If an unrecoverable fatal error occurs during initialization, throw a StartupException to cancel the startup process. If a recoverable error occurs during
initialization, most Exception instances other than StartupException cause a
retry of initialization after a short delay.
Parameters

Throws
| Exception | if errors occur during connector initialization |
