Token Introspector

An implementation of OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection specific to SMART on FHIR.

It take a token and attempts to use it to issue a FHIR GET Patient API call, usin the result to determine whether the token is active. Eventually it may offer other resoltion mechanisms (e.g. inspecting a vendor-specific JWT).

Docker usage

Build and start a Docker containers using:

docker build . -t <some-tag-name>
docker run  -p 9004:5000 <some-tag-name>:latest

This exposes the service on port 9004 of the local machine.

Test your connection using the CuRL command:

curl -d "token=<token value>&patient=<fhir pid>" -X POST http://localhost:9004/api/introspect

where the <token> and <patient-id> values must be known to the API server referenced in the Dockerfile.

Installation

pip install .

Configuration

Token Introspector checks the environment for:

• API_SERVER: The FHIR server where tokens should be tried.

Running

introspection-service's Issues

Does this repo need to persist?

Given that this repo is a fork of https://github.com/sync-for-science/token-introspector, do we need to maintain it here? I'm thinking that we might:

1. Identity any necessary changes and merge them upstream
2. Avoid maintaining a public fork here

I'm not sure there are any necessary changes in (1), but it'd be good to talk through this.
