The Driver is configured with:

  • The Correct URL for the Centro API (of the Sub-tenant)
  • A friendly name used to identify the connector

The driver package can be downloaded from github. here

Link a Location by selecting the relevant location from the dropdown.

The Save button must be pressed after updating the linking.

Connector removal​

Connectors can be removed manually by pressing the Delete Connector button but note that if a client software is trying to connect to a tenant then a deleted connector will reappear in the unlinked connectors.

Unlinked Connectors are automatically removed when no connection has been made from the client for more than 300 seconds.
