Viewing the Vocera LDAP Adapter Requirements

System

The Vocera LDAP Adapter is designed to connect Vocera Platform to one LDAP server per organization.

Port

Vocera Platform uses port 389/tcp to communicate with the facility's LDAP server and uses port 636/tcp for SSL communication.

Datasets

An adapter defines a default Dataset structure in order to function. Attributes are organized by Datasets and store the information required by the adapter. Adapters use this data during the process of receiving and sending messages.

Not all adapters require Datasets to function. When an adapter does require Datasets, the system will determine if they already exist. If they do not exist, the system will create the needed Datasets.

When creating or editing an adapter, use the following information to select the appropriate datasets in the Required Datasets section.

• The ACTORS Dataset stores all actors.
• The GROUPS Dataset stores all user groups.
• The GROUP_MEMBERS Dataset stores all the members in a group.
• The SITES Dataset stores all site information.
• The USERS Dataset stores all Vocera users.

ACTORS Dataset

Element	Name	Reverse Name	Key	Reverse Key	Required	Type	Description
Link	groups	actor	False	True	N/A	One-to-many	The ACTORS Dataset is linked to the GROUP_MEMBERS Dataset, and the link order is 1:n (one actor associated to many group_members)

GROUPS Dataset

Element	Name	Reverse Name	Key	Reverse Key	Required	Type	Description
Attribute	name	N/A	True	N/A	N/A	String	Attribute that stores the name of the group.
Attribute	ldap_dn	N/A	False	N/A	False	String	Attribute that stores the distinguished name of the group in LDAP.
Link	site	groups	True	False	N/A	Many-to-one	The GROUPS Dataset is linked to the SITES Dataset, and the link order is n:1 (many groups associated to one site)
Link	members	group	False	True	N/A	One-to-many	The GROUPS Dataset is linked to the GROUP_MEMBERS Dataset, and the link order is 1:n (one group associated to many group_members)

GROUP_MEMBERS Dataset

Element	Name	Reverse Name	Key	Reverse Key	Required	Type	Description
Link	actor	groups	True	False	N/A	Many-to-one	The GROUP_MEMBERS Dataset is linked to the ACTORS Dataset, and the link order is n:1 (many group_members associated to one actor)
Link	group	members	True	False	N/A	Many-to-one	The GROUP_MEMBERS Dataset is linked to the GROUPS Dataset, and the link order is n:1 (many group_members associated to one group)

SITES Dataset

Element	Name	Reverse Name	Key	Reverse Key	Required	Type	Description
Attribute	name	N/A	True	N/A	N/A	String	Attribute that stores the unique name for the site.
Link	groups	site	False	True	N/A	One-to-many	The SITES Dataset is linked to the GROUPS Dataset, and the link order is 1:n (one site associated to many groups)

USERS Dataset

Element	Name	Reverse Name	Key	Reverse Key	Required	Type	Description
Attribute	login	N/A	True	N/A	N/A	String	Attribute that stores the login name of the user.
