In contrast to using an OIDC Identity Provider, with a Connector the user doesn’t choose their identity provider; the administrator does. In addition, if the data source contains additional user profile information, a Connector allows you to map that into your user object. Finally, the data provider doesn’t have to implement the OIDC specification.

Let us know if you have additional questions!
