Admin Configuration Workflow

The Custom Provider onboarding flow follows a wizard-like experience in RAS.

Step	Admin action	Details
General	Provide provider identity and broker-related settings.	Name, description, credentials for communication with the Connection Broker, Guest Agent deployment credentials, and preferred Connection Broker.
Connection	Point RAS to the connector implementation.	Command, command arguments, and working directory.
Customization	Pass provider-specific configuration to the script.	Key/value pairs are forwarded as custom settings and are not interpreted by RAS.
Review	Confirm and create the provider.	RAS stores the configuration and uses it during provider initialization and connection.

Editing an existing provider

Once created, the provider can be edited through the standard properties experience. Custom Provider adds dedicated Connection and Customization tabs for command-path settings and custom variables.

Security and settings caveat

Secure custom settings are masked in the administrator UI for display purposes only. RAS still passes all key/value pairs to the script as plain text. Customers should design the connector host, credential handling, and logging practices accordingly.
