Integration

This is an integration and requires additional licensing or subscriptions to utilize it. For more information, contact your customer success manager.

Cerner Corporation is a global supplier of health care information technology (HCIT) solutions, services, devices, and hardware. Cerner solutions optimize processes for health care organizations. This document is designed to give specific information about the requirements and field definitions needed to get a working instance of a Cerner Healthcare connector.

This document is intended for the Cerner Healthcare source and SailPoint System Administrators and assumes an advanced level of technical knowledge.

Note

Supported Features

The Cerner Healthcare connector supports the following features:

Account Management

  • Create, update, and delete accounts
  • Enable or disable accounts
  • Change account passwords
  • Add or remove entitlements (position and organization groups)

Account - Group Management

  • Aggregation

Prerequisites

The Cerner Enterprise Provisioning Service exposes the provisioning mechanism to external requests and responses using the SPML (Service Provisioning Markup Language), which is a standard Cerner Millennium provisioning language. Through this service, it's possible to support external provisioning solutions to create and maintain users.

Note

These details are provided by Cerner to individual customers. As a result, these details may vary between customers.

The following details are required:

  • Configure at least one virtual appliance cluster and successfully test the connection. For more information, refer to the Virtual Appliance Reference Guide.
  • Provisioning Servlet - The Cerner connector accesses the provisioning servlet URL, a customer-specific enterprise provisioning service to perform all the aggregation and provisioning related operations.
  • Target ID - Along with the servlet, a customer-specific Millennium Target ID is required for SailPoint to connect to the Cerner Provisioning adapter (through Cerner API's access).
  • Permissions - The Cerner provisioning adapter requires one Millennium account having Manage Accounts privilege, which modifies the users within Millennium. The service account is mapped to Millennium Target ID, which is required to make calls to the provisioning adapter.

All the above prerequisites are mandatory as Cerner does not define users having the authority to send requests in any method.

Important

To receive support from SailPoint Support, you must provide access to the Cerner test or development environment.
