Abstract
The purpose of this project is to implement the OAuth2 support for the OpenMRS Webservices APIs. OAuth2 is welknown and popular standard in securing the webserives APIs where user can invoke services through access token without exposing their credentials. OpenMRS has two main web services projects which are OpenMRS restful web services module[5] and OpenMRS FHIR module[1]. So the main target is to implement the OAuth support for platform where OpenMRS act as a OAuth provider.
...
- Go through the OAuth specification and understand OAuth2 and it's grant types
- Go through the available samples in web to understand the implementation(6).
- Develop OAuth based security module for OpenMRS
- Come up with set of UI mockups for application creation and authorization
- Create a new module following Creating Modules (improve the documentation if needed)
- Apply for a repository at https://github.com/openmrs and a JIRA project
- Create tickets in JIRA for tasks to be completed during GSoC
- Design and implement the module API layer
- API layer need to have a validateToken method which takes incoming token to check whether it's valid or not. The service will be a spring service where FHIR Module and Web Service module call to validate the incoming token.
- Design and implement the module OMOD layer
- OMOD layer should support for following endpoints (Twitter API tutorial will helpful in understanding below endpoints https://dev.twitter.com/oauth/overview). During the implementation we may simplify the endpoints
