! Connector !! Service Interface !! Notes
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/Asset Connector]] || IAssetService || As of 0.9.2, the three region-side asset modules (LocalAssetServiceConnector, RemoteAssetServiceConnector, HGAssetBroker) were replaced by a single RegionAssetConnector. LocalAssetServiceConnector is retained for test use only. HGAssetBroker and RemoteAssetServiceConnector are no longer used in production. RegionAssetConnector behaviour is controlled by [AssetService] keys LocalGridAssetService and HypergridAssetService. See individual page for full detail including server-side handler code.
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/GridUser Connector]] || IGridUserService || Tracks last position, login/logout timestamps, home region. Online status in GridUser is less accurate than in Presence, which is updated more frequently.
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/Presence Connector]] || IPresenceService || Online status, session tracking, region assignment.
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/UserAccount Connector]] || IUserAccountService || User account CRUD. Known bug: CreateUser() sends first name as email value.
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/Inventory Connector]] || IInventoryService || XInventory protocol. UpdateFolder() URL-encodes Name; AddFolder() does not.
|-
| HGInventoryService || IInventoryService || HG-only. Pre-suitcase implementation. Returns "My Suitcase" folder as root by name lookup. Does not enforce suitcase tree boundaries on operations. Adjusts CreatorData on item fetch to include home grid URL. Deletions and skeleton requests blocked. Present in current code but not recommended for new deployments.
|-
| HGSuitcaseInventoryService || IInventoryService || HG-only. Current implementation. Enforces strict suitcase tree boundaries on all folder and item operations. Creates system subfolders under suitcase on first use. Allows access to appearance items outside the suitcase tree. Caches suitcase tree and appearance data (5-minute expiry). Requires AvatarService in config in addition to UserAccountsService. Deletions blocked.
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/Authentication Connector]] || IAuthenticationService || Password and token authentication, impersonation mechanism.
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/Avatar Connector]] || IAvatarService || Appearance storage. ResetAvatar() log erroneously says "SetItems reply".
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/Friends Connector]] || IFriendsService || Friend list, online notifications.
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/Grid Connector]] || IGridService || Region registration, lookup, neighbour queries.
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/Simulation Connector]] || ISimulationService || Inter-simulator agent and object transfer. QueryAccess, CreateAgent, UpdateAgent, CloseAgent, CreateObject.
|-
| [[OpenSimulator Internals/Connector Architecture/UserAgent Connector]] || IUserAgentService || HG-only. Home region lookup, login to foreign grid, session verification.
