• id - a unique identifier for the data connector
• sourceAttributeID - the ID of an attribute, provided by a dependency, whose first value will be used within the computed ID hash
• generatedAttributeID - name of the attribute produced by this data connector. optional, defaults to storedId

• salt - a string of random data; must be at least 16 characters, 48 characters is recommended. Be sure to write down this salt value somewhere safeso that the persistentIDs are not lost if you delete your configuration file!

  Note
  It is recommended that the attribute given by sourceAttributeID be a non-reassigned value, unique to each user. Usage of such a value effectively eliminates problems that may occur if a value is re-assigned and a service provider has not cleaned out state from the previous owner of that ID.

Dependencies are expressed by the <resolver:Dependency> with a ref attribute whose value is the unique ID of the attribute definition or the data connector that this connector depends on.

The <ContainerManagedConnection> may also contain any number of <JNDIConnectionProperty> elements that specify the JNDI connection properties appropriate for the container. Refer to your container documentation for these properties. Some common JNDI connection parameters are listed by Sun.
