Why teams connect eClinicalWorks and Ldap

Connect the tickets, records, and events in eClinicalWorks to the systems engineering runs in Ldap, kept current in real time and in both directions.

eClinicalWorks is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Ldap is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Appointments, Encounters, Practitioners, Observations in eClinicalWorks with Schema (subschema subentry), Entries, Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user), Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) in Ldap field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync patient demographics and appointments into a CRM so patient outreach and intake teams work from current data.
  • 02 Land encounter and billing-context data in a warehouse for utilization and revenue-cycle reporting.
  • 03 Connect a niche or legacy directory server that has no dedicated Stacksync connector but speaks LDAPv3, syncing it over a bind DN and TLS.
  • 04 Incrementally sync changed entries by polling modifyTimestamp, keeping a downstream store fresh without dumping the whole directory each cycle.

Common sync patterns

Where Ldap watches operations: live volumes for visibility

Open items, throughput, and error counts from eClinicalWorks replicate into Ldap, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.

One shared record across both systems

Where both systems keep records for the same contacts, items, or users, a correction in either updates the other, ending dual maintenance and keeping IDs aligned for every other flow.

Where Ldap tracks engineering work: requests become issues

A ticket or request raised in eClinicalWorks opens or updates a matching issue in Ldap, and status, comments, and resolution flow back, so support and engineering work the same item instead of retyping it.

What you can sync between eClinicalWorks and Ldap

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

eClinicalWorks objects Ldap objects How this pairing syncs
Diagnostic reports Structured result reports grouping observations for a study or panel. Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user) People held under objectClasses such as inetOrgPerson, person, or Active Directory user; synced two-way to create accounts and update attributes like mail, cn, and telephoneNumber. Diagnostic reports is specific to eClinicalWorks and Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user) to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Patients Demographic records exposed via FHIR Patient resources and HL7 ADT feeds; the anchor for all clinical syncs. Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) Group entries whose member or uniqueMember attributes list DNs; synced two-way to add and remove membership as teams and entitlements change. Patients is specific to eClinicalWorks and Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Appointments Scheduling records available via FHIR and HL7 SIU messages, synced for reminders and outreach. Organizational units (ou) Container entries that structure the DIT and scope which subtree a sync reads or writes; used to limit a sync to a branch such as ou=People,dc=corp,dc=com. Appointments is specific to eClinicalWorks and Organizational units (ou) to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Encounters Visit records tying diagnoses, providers, and billing context together. Attributes The typed name/value pairs on each entry (cn, mail, memberOf, objectClass); the schema defines which attributes each objectClass allows, and mappings are built per attribute. Encounters is specific to eClinicalWorks and Attributes to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Practitioners Provider records used to keep directories and scheduling systems consistent. Operational attributes Server-maintained metadata such as modifyTimestamp, createTimestamp, entryUUID, entryCSN, and uSNChanged; read to drive incremental polling and to key entries stably across syncs. Practitioners is specific to eClinicalWorks and Operational attributes to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Observations Labs and vitals, delivered via FHIR resources or HL7 ORU result messages. Schema (subschema subentry) The objectClass and attribute-type definitions the server exposes; read to validate that written attributes exist and are single- or multi-valued as expected. Observations is specific to eClinicalWorks and Schema (subschema subentry) to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between eClinicalWorks and Ldap

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

eClinicalWorks Ldap Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls eClinicalWorks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. HL7 interface feeds push event messages as they occur.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ldap through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ldap eClinicalWorks Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Ldap for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No universal native change feed.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to eClinicalWorks through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • eClinicalWorks: Subject to the platform's API rate limits and interface throughput agreements.
  • Ldap: LDAP defines no request quota; throughput is bounded by the server's sizelimit and timelimit administrative limits, connection and thread caps, and the CPU/IO it shares with live authentication traffic, so large syncs can contend with production lookups and must page results.

How the eClinicalWorks and Ldap connectors work

eClinicalWorks

Integration surface
FHIR R4 REST API plus HL7 v2 interfaces (ADT, SIU, ORU) through an interface engine
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 / SMART on FHIR for the FHIR API; site-configured credentials for HL7 interface connections
Change detection
HL7 interface feeds push event messages as they occur; the FHIR API is polled
Capabilities

Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits and interface throughput agreements

Ldap

Integration surface
LDAPv3 protocol (RFC 4511) over TCP, typically LDAPS on port 636 or StartTLS on 389; reaches any LDAPv3 directory server - OpenLDAP, Microsoft Active Directory, 389 Directory Server, Oracle Unified Directory, PingDS/ForgeRock, NetIQ eDirectory, Apache Directory.
Authentication
A bind DN and password (simple bind), typically over TLS, using a service account with rights to the target subtree. SASL mechanisms - GSSAPI/Kerberos, DIGEST-MD5, or EXTERNAL with a client certificate - are available where the server supports them.
Change detection
No universal native change feed. Incremental sync polls the modifyTimestamp operational attribute (or entryCSN / uSNChanged on servers that expose them) for entries changed since the last cursor; detecting deletes needs a server changelog or tombstones because a plain search cannot see removed entries. Some servers add Persistent Search or RFC 4533 content-sync (syncrepl), but that support is server-specific. No webhooks.

Rate limits
