Note: The SAML Custom Connector (Advanced) is the new name for the SAML Test Connector (Advanced) there is no need for those using SAML Test Connector (Advanced) to migrate to the SAML Custom Connector (Advanced).
The OneLogin SAML Custom Connector (Advanced) allows you to build a custom application connector for applications that are unavailable in the OneLogin catalog, e.g. internally developed apps used by your company.

Admins can use granular controls in the UI to create their own custom connector that meets their authentication requirements.
