Provider Registry and the HPD Profile: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:52, 7 March 2013

This page is to consolidate information about the HPD profile for implementation in the RHEA Provider Registry.

DMSLv2 is the XML format required by HPD to make queries and updates of the LDAP server

There are several DSML gateways we can use to translate DSML to LDAP queries as well as LDAP servers that support DSML directly. Here is a listing:

Note: we are currently using OpenLDAP as our LDAP server.

Here are some of the criteria to evaluate the DSML gateways / LDAP+DSML servers

Server Type (DSML gateway vs. LDAP server with native DSML support)
Open Source License
Documentation Updated
Active Development
Ease of installation
- Availability on standard Linux platforms
- Requirements for configuration
Speed/Performance Issues
- Memory Usage
Ability to validate incoming DSML messages. Example validations:
- does the hcidentifier attribute meet our format (e.g. hcIdentifier="id_type:id_number")
- can we validate coded lists (e.g. facility code)
