Connecting SailPoint and Cerner Healthcare

To connect SailPoint with Cerner Healthcare, perform the following tasks:

Adding the Source in SailPoint

To connect to SailPoint, perform the following steps. Once the connection is made, you can configure it to meet your company's needs.

To configure a new source:

1. Sign in to SailPoint.
2. Go to Admin > Connections > Sources.
3. Select Create New.
4. Search for the connector by entering the name in the search box, and then select Configure.
5. In the Source Name field, enter a unique and descriptive name for your source. Source names cannot exceed 128 characters.
6. In the Description field, provide additional details about the source to help distinguish it from similar sources. This field allows a maximum of 2,000 characters.
7. In the Source Owner field, begin typing the name of an owner. Matches appear after you type two or more letters. For more information, refer to Assigning a Source Owner.

8. Under Connection Type, select Direct Connection or Flat File.

   • Direct Connection - A direct connection fetches data from the Virtual Appliance Cluster you choose as the application connector for the source. A direct connection configuration allows for real-time updates. For more information about configuring and deploying virtual appliances, refer to the Virtual Appliance Reference Guide.
   • Flat File - Select the flat file if no connector is available, or if another system restricts the connection. This option allows only reading and aggregating data as a generic/delimited application. Provisioning activity is unsupported, and additional configuration pages like connection settings and aggregation settings are unavailable.

9. If you selected Direct Connection, in Virtual Appliance Cluster, select the virtual appliance cluster that will be used as the application connector for the source.

10. (Optional) Select a governance group to grant its members source or role sub-admin level oversight of the source and its access. For more information, refer to Creating and Managing Governance Groups.
11. If this source represents a primary system containing your organization's personnel records, select the Authoritative Source checkbox. For more information, refer to Creating Identity Profiles.
12. Select Continue. The source is created, and you are navigated to the Source Setup > Base Configuration page. Continue to configure your connected source there.

Connection Settings

Provide the information required to connect and interact with the source.

To configure your source connection, complete the following:

1. Enter the Host URL of the provisioning servlet. The provisioning servlet enables the SailPoint Cerner Healthcare source to communicate with Cerner through SPML calls. For example: http://<hostName\>/security-provisioning/ProvisioningServlet

2. Enter the Millennium Target ID with the required permission to perform provisioning on Cerner. The Millennium Target ID must be created and considered to be a service account used by the Cerner Healthcare source. You must get the Millennium Target ID from Cerner using some form of service request. For example: millennium_xxxxxx

3. Select Save.

Aggregation Settings

Provide the settings for your aggregation.

To configure your aggregation settings, complete the following:

1. Select an option from the Manage Accounts dropdown menu to aggregate users by user status. The available choices are:
   • Active and Suspended
   • Active
   • All
2. Enter the Aggregation Timeout in seconds. If the system reaches the aggregation timeout, it stops the aggregation attempt. The timeout setting is required if the response is getting delayed from the Cerner system. By default, timeout is set to 900 seconds.
3. Select Save.

Advanced Settings

The Advanced Settings tab lists additional configuration options available in the Cerner Healthcare connector.

To configure advanced settings, complete the following:

1. Clear the Disassociate Account checkbox to only remove the User Name and not disassociate an account.
2. Specify a custom Delimiter for separating ID and names during provisioning operations. The default is #~#.
3. Specify the HTTP Client Connection Timeout in minutes.
4. Select Save.

Review and Test

Perform a test to confirm the connection to SailPoint.

1. Go to Review and Test.

2. Confirm that the entries in each field are correct.

   If you note any mistakes, return to the section and make corrections.

3. Select Test Connection.
