Adapter
Adapter for Integration to Docker Engine
Overview
This adapter is used to integrate the Itential Automation Platform (IAP) with the Docker System. The API that was used to build the adapter for Docker is usually available in the report directory of this adapter. The adapter utilizes the Docker API to provide the integrations that are deemed pertinent to IAP. The ReadMe file is intended to provide information on this adapter it is generated from various other Markdown files.
Details
The Docker adapter from Itential is used to integrate the Itential Automation Platform (IAP) with Docker Engine. With this adapter you have the ability to perform operations such as:
Pull, Push, or Manage Docker Images.
Add and Remove Inventory Items: When a new device is turned up, it can be automatically added to inventory as well as having its assets (e.g. ports) added. When a device is removed, it can be automatically removed from inventory as well as having its assets removed.
Check Availability of Items: When a new service is requested, Itential can confirm the availability of the items that are required to provide the service.
Assign and Unassign Items: When a new service is requested, the items required to provide the service such as a port can be assigned to the service. When a service is discontinued, the items that were utilized for that service can be un-assigned so they can be used again in the future.

Specific Adapter Information
Authentication
This document will go through the steps for authenticating the Docker adapter with Basic Authentication. Properly configuring the properties for an adapter in IAP is critical for getting the adapter online. You can read more about adapter authentication HERE.
Basic Authentication
The Docker adapter requires Basic Authentication. If you change authentication methods, you should change this section accordingly and merge it back into the adapter repository.
STEPS
Ensure you have access to a Docker server and that it is running
Follow the steps in the README.md to import the adapter into IAP if you have not already done so
Use the properties below for the
properties.authenticationfield"authentication": { "auth_method": "basic user_password", "username": "<username>", "password": "<password>", "auth_field": "header.headers.Authorization", "auth_field_format": "Basic {b64}{username}:{password}{/b64}", "auth_logging": false }you can leave all of the other properties in the authentication section, they will not be used when the auth_method is basic user_password.
Restart the adapter. If your properties were set correctly, the adapter should go online.
Troubleshooting
- Make sure you copied over the correct username and password.
- Turn on debug level logs for the adapter in IAP Admin Essentials.
- Turn on auth_logging for the adapter in IAP Admin Essentials (adapter properties).
- Investigate the logs - in particular:
- The FULL REQUEST log to make sure the proper headers are being sent with the request.
- The FULL BODY log to make sure the payload is accurate.
- The CALL RETURN log to see what the other system is telling us.
- Credentials should be masked by the adapter so make sure you verify the username and password - including that there are erroneous spaces at the front or end.
- Remember when you are done to turn auth_logging off as you do not want to log credentials.
Sample Properties
Sample Properties can be used to help you configure the adapter in the Itential Automation Platform. You will need to update connectivity information such as the host, port, protocol and credentials.
