Excerpt

Description of how client applications can switch context and Authentication/Authorization Server (AS) to issue a new set of tokens where the content of the Access token contains a new context.

A key component of the eHealth Infrastructure security model is to switch context. Switching context means that the user asks the Authentication/Authorization Server (AS) to issue a new set of tokens where the content of the Access token contains a new context. The parameters for requesting a new context are any of the following:

  • Careteam

  • Patient

  • Episode of Care

  • Organization

In order to set a context, the requester needs to obtain what is available to be set in context.

Available Contexts

The available contexts for any a given user can be obtained by querying (the AS using an HTTP GET with the current Access token ) the AS at the path /auth/realms/{realm name}/resource/ehealth-connect/contexts on the AS.

The result is an expanded tree that lists available careteams and organizations, e.g. for a clinical user:

Mapping from Role to Privileges

As of Keycloak version 1.8.40, a list of the top-level roles for each available context is given in the “roles element“. Each top-level role is expanded to a set of privileges. This mapping can be obtained by querying (HTTP GET with the current Access token) the AS at the path /auth/realms/{realm name}/resource/ehealth-connect/groups. The result is a map of top-level roles to privileges. The example request and response shown below illustrate the concept and are not intended to be normative, complete or kept up-to-date.

Setting the

Context

In order to set the context, the AS can be requested with a valid access refresh token using an HTTP POST (x-www-form-urlencoded) against auth/realms/{realm name}/protocol/openid-connect/token with the required and optional parameters listed below. The result is a valid Access Token Response[1] where the access token in the response will have the requested context set.
