healthcatalyst/fabric.identity repository overview

⁠Fabric.Identity

The Fabric.Identity service is planned to provide central authentication and authorization across the Fabric ecosystem. An overview of our thinking can be found in this presentation⁠.

⁠Platform

The Fabric.Identity service is built using:

• ASP .NET Core 1.1
• IdentityServer4⁠

⁠How to build and run

• Install .NET Core 1.1⁠
• Clone or download the repo
• Launch a command prompt or powershell window and change directory to the Fabric.Identity.API directory and execute the following commands
  • dotnet restore
  • dotnet run

Fabric.Identity service will start up and listen on port 5001.

You can run the following curl commands to ensure the service is up and working properly:

curl -G http://localhost:5001/.well-known/openid-configuration

Which will return a json document representing the discovery information for the service:

{
  "issuer": "http://localhost:5001",
  "jwks_uri": "http://localhost:5001/.well-known/openid-configuration/jwks",
  "authorization_endpoint": "http://localhost:5001/connect/authorize",
  ...
}

You can then run the following curl to ensure the service is issuing access tokens properly:

curl http://localhost:5001/connect/token --data "client_id=fabric-sampleapi-client&client_secret=secret&grant_type=client_credentials&scope=patientapi"

You should get a response back that looks something like this:

{
	"access_token": "[base64 encoded string]",
	"expires_in": 3600,
	"token_type": "Bearer"
}
