Flat File Connector Setup and Configuration

To create the connector described in this section, configure the tabs in the Management Agent Designer as described in the Windows PowerShell Connector for FIM 2010 R2 Technical Reference.

##Template File The sample connector uses a template file to provide schema information to the Synchronization Service. Create a text file in the Extension folder called SampleInputFile.txt.

By default, the Extensions folder can be found at:

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service\Extensions\

Paste the data located in this file in to SampleInputFile.txt.
