Custom on-disk configuration for CData based Data Connections

Ask the Community

Hi There,

I’m trying to create an LDAP connection with a custom schema. The LDAP Connector available on Foundry uses CData drivers.

I need to extend the fields ingested by the LDAP connection to include custom fields. As per the documentation [1], I need to generate xml-like schema files with extension *.rsd and store it locally on my agent.

I would like to be able to manage the schema definition through the Data Connectivity UI instead of having to maintain *.rsd files on local disk. Additionally I would like to be able to use this using a cloud-based direct connection in future. Is there any way in the data source or sync configuration can be used to generate the required on-disk config files?

Alternatively, is there a way for me to specify the extra fields as specified in [1] without having to manipulate files on the local disk of my agent?

We don’t currently support passing on-disk files to the CData connectors. I’ve logged a feature request around supporting settings that currently may only be configured by providing local files to expose these settings via the connector configuration UI. This will either look like a file that you upload, or simply specifying the required data via input in the data connection application.

Leaving a +1 here. This seems limiting right now!
