Synchronizing Using Vocera User ID and Active Directory

By default, the VMP Server synchronizes using the email address of each user defined in each source. If you have imported the Vocera and Active Directory sources, you can now synchronize the User ID field in the Vocera source with a field in the Active Directory source, such as the sAMAccountName field. This is useful in environments where users do not have email addresses.

  1. Follow the steps described in Synchronizing Users and Contacts to start the synchronization process.
  2. When you reach the Field Mapping screen, select the Vocera source.
  3. Scroll down to the Synchronization Key row.
  4. In the Source column of the Synchronization Key row, select Vocera.
  5. In the Source field column of the Synchronization Key row, select User ID.

    Note: By default, in the Vocera ID row, the Source field column is set to Entity ID. Do not change this.
  6. Select the Active Directory source.
  7. Scroll down to the Synchronization Key row.
  8. In the Source column of the Synchronization Key row, select Active Directory.
  9. In the Source field column of the Synchronization Key row, select the field that you want to use to synchronize (such as sAMAccountName).
  10. Click Next to complete the field mapping.
  11. Continue following the instructions in Synchronizing Users and Contacts to finish user synchronization.
