Get Access Token [ITI-71]

This section describes the national extension for the Swiss EPR to the Get Access Token [ITI-71] transaction defined in the IUA profile published in the IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework Trial Implementation “Internet User Authorization”.

Scope

The transaction is used by an IUA Authorization Client (e.g., portals and primary systems) to pass claims to the IUA Authorization Server and to retrieve an access token to be used for authorization of the access to protected resources of the Swiss EPR.

Depending on the claims made by the IUA Authorization Client, two different flavors of access tokens SHALL be provided by the IUA Authorization Server:

  • Basic Access Token – IUA compliant access token authorizing access to the EPR end-points which are NOT protected by the EPR role and attribute based authorization (i.e. for the PIXm endpoints).
  • Extended Access Token – IUA compliant access token for the EPR endpoints which are protected by the EPR role and attribute based authorization (i.e. for the MHD endpoints).

When an IUA Authorization Client is authorized, it may launch SMART on FHIR Apps using the EHR launch by claiming a launch indicator. When launched the SMART on FHIR Apps inherit the basic access authorization from the launching app and may retrieve Extended Access Token for EPR endpoints protected by the EPR role and attribute based authorization (e.g. to retrieve documents).

Actor Roles

Actor: IUA Authorization Client
Role: Communicates claims and launch information to the IUA Authorization Server and receives JWT access token, optionally authenticates the user and presents the IDP token to the IUA Authorization Server together with the claims and launch information.
Actor: IUA Authorization Server
Role: Identifies the Authorization Client, authorizes the access on behalf of the user, verifies claims, optionally enforces user authentication by redirecting the Authorization Client to a certified IdP and responds a JWT Access Token to the IUA Authorization Client to be incorporated into the transactions to access protected resources.

  • Authorization Clients may claim other scopes as defined in the SMART on FHIR specification.

Note: The parameters need to be url encoded, see above message example.

Depending on the value of the subject-role scope additional scopes are required, as described in the following sections.

Healthcare Professional Extension

In the healthcare professional extension, the scope subject_role SHALL be the code HCP from code system 2.16.756.5.30.1.127.3.10.6 of the CH:EPR value set.

Expected Actions

The IUA Authorization Client and Authorization Server SHALL support the HTTP conversation of the OAuth 2.1 Authorization Code grant type.

When launched, the IUA Authorization Client SHALL send an HTTP GET request to the Authorization Servers authorization endpoint with query parameter as defined in Table and with the scope claims described in Table.

When receiving the request the Authorization Server

  • SHALL verify that the Authorization Client was registered during onboarding with the client_id and client secret presented in the request.
  • SHALL validate the requests parameter (i.e.: person_id). Depending on the parameter, the IUA Authorization Server SHALL either build a Basic Access Token authorizing basic access to the EPR (i.e. PIXm), or an Extended Access Token to authorize access to resources protected by the role and attribute based EPR authorization (i.e. read and write documents).
  • SHALL validate the launch scope parameter. For SMART on FHIR Apps launched in an EPR Launch, the IUA Authorization Server SHALL verify that the portal or primary system which launched the SMART on FHIR App has been registered with this launch parameter value by the community during the onboarding process.
  • SHALL verify that the Authorization Client is authorized to access the EPR on behalf of the user by community policy or by the user's consent.
  • MAY retrieve the user's consent by redirecting the user agent to an EPR compliant Identity Provider to authenticate the user and present a form to the user to authorize the IUA Authorization Client to act on behalf of the user with a given scope. The Authorization Server MAY persist the users consent for future access by the Authorization Client.

In case of failure, the IUA Authorization Server SHALL respond with HTTP error code 401 ‘Not authorized’.

In case of success, the IUA Authorization Server SHALL send the authorization code to the Authorization Client redirect-uri via the user agent.

The Authorization Client SHALL perform the HTTP POST request to the Authorization token endpoint to resolve the authorization code to the access token, sending the client_id and client_secret in the HTTP authorization header field.

When retrieving the token request, the Authorization Server SHALL verify that the user is authenticated compliant to the regulations of the Swiss EPR, either by validating the identity token send with the token request or by redirecting the Authorization Client's user agent to an certified Identity Provider.

The Authorization Server SHALL respond with the Get Access Token response as defined in Get Access Token Response only if all checks are successful.

In case of failure, the IUA Authorization Server SHALL respond with HTTP error code 401 ‘Not authorized’.

The IUA Authorization Client SHALL use the access token as defined in IUA Incorporate Access Token transaction, when performing requests to resources of the Swiss EPR.

Message Example

The first step of the conversation is an HTTP GET which may look like for a Basic Access Token:

GET authorize?
    response_type=code&
    client_id=app-client-id&
    redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9000%2Fcallback&
    launch=xyz123&
    scope=launch+user%2F%2A.%2A+openid+fhirUser&

    code_challenge_method=S256

An extended access token where at least purpose_of_use (NORM), subject_role (HCP) and person_id are specified may look like:

GET authorize?
    response_type=code&
    client_id=app-client-id&
    redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9000%2Fcallback&
    launch=xyz123&
    person_id=761337610411353650%5E%5E%5E%262.16.756.5.30.1.109.6.5.3.1.1%26ISO&

    code_challenge_method=S256

In the second step of the conversation, the IUA Authorization Server send a HTTP GET to the Authorization Client's user agent conveying the authorization code, e.g.:

GET /callback?code=8V1pr0rJ&state=98wrghuwuogerg97

In the third step of the conversation, the IUA Authorization Client sends a HTTP POST request to the token endpoint of IUA Authorization Server to exchange the authorization code and optional identity token (signed JWT or SAML 2 Assertion) to the access token, e.g.:

POST /token HTTP/1.1

CapabilityStatement Resource

Security Consideration

IUA Authorization Clients, Authorization Servers and Resource Server actors SHALL use the JWS (signed) alternative of the JWT token as specified in the IUA Trial Implementation. The JWE alternative SHALL not be used.

When receiving requests of transactions where the EPR-SPID is provided in the IUA token and in the transaction body, the Resource Servers SHALL verify that both are the same.

The actors SHALL support the traceparent header handling, as defined in Appendix: Trace Context.

Security Audit Considerations

There is no audit event required for this transaction.
