Connector

The Connector in Prancer is a configuration file that holds the credentials needed to connect to a path defined in the Snapshot file. By using the Connector, users can authenticate with various cloud providers and services. Users can view a list of all Connector files present in a Collection, upload new Connector Configuration files, update existing Connector files, and download or copy Connector files for further use. Uploading a new Connector JSON file will update the data of an existing Connector file with the same name. The Connector feature in Prancer allows users to easily manage and use credentials for connecting to cloud providers and services. You can get more ideas about Connector from here.
