  1. The name of the Plugin should match the format FooSource.
  2. The Plugin should implement a FooSource model and a corresponding controller (FoosController).
    1. This model should belongTo OrgIdentitySource.
    2. The controller should extend SOISController.
    3. When a new Org Identity Source is created, a skeletal row in the corresponding foo_sources table will be created. There is no add operation or view required. The skeletal row will point to the parent Org Identity Source.
    4. When an Org Identity Source is edited, the entry point to the Plugin will be foo_source/foo_sources/edit/#. This will be called immediately after the parent Org Identity Source is created.
    5. Note OrgIdentitySource has a hasOne (ie: 1 to 1) relationship with FooSource.
    6. The table foo_sources should include a foreign key to org_identity_sources:id.
      1. Other tables used by the plugin should reference foo_source:id.
  3. The Plugin should also implement a model named FooSourceBackend.
    1. The backend is responsible for the implementation of the backend search and retrieval capabilities.
      1. The raw record returned by the retrieve() function should not change if the underlying backend record has not changed. Registry uses the raw record to determine when the related Org Identity record must be updated.
      2. The Plugin should support mail (email address) as a searchable attribute. This capability is used by Enrollment Flows in various configurations, see Integration With Enrollment Flows, below.
      3. As of Registry v3.1.0, Plugins may also implement getChangeList(), which determines the set of changed records for a given time period. When supported, OIS sync processes in Update Mode will run more efficiently.
        1. As of Registry v3.2.0, if the forcesyncorgsources task is used, getChangeList() cannot be used.
      4. See also Supported Attributes, below.
    2. This model should extend OrgIdentitySourceBackend, and implement the abstract functions defined in the parent model (see app/Model/OrgIdentitySourceBackend.php).
    3. Note that the Plugin configuration for FooSource will be available to the backend in $this->pluginCfg.
  4. Registry will automatically track the current backend data via the org_identity_source_records table.
