When the VMware Identity Manager connector is initially configured, when you enable the connector to authenticate users, a Workspace IDP is created as the identity provider and password authentication is enabled.

Additional connectors can be configured behind different load balancers. When your environment includes more than one load balancer, you can configure a different Workspace identity provider for authentication in each load balanced configuration. See the Installing Additional Connector Appliances topics in the Installing and Configuring VMWare Identity Manager Guide.

The different Workspace identity providers can be associated with the same directory or if you have multiple directors configured, you can select which directory to use.
