Authorization Flow
When a client starts an OIDC Authorization Code Flow for a municipal user, it uses SEB and KOMBIT Context Handler and goes through the following federation process.
The sequence diagram for clinicians' logins, explained in https://ehealth-dk.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EDTW/pages/101122074/Login#Clinical-logins, shows how the OIDC Authorization Code Flow is redirected through a series of steps involving OIOSAML-based AuthNRequest and AuthNResponse.
Here's a summary of the responsibilities of the services involved:
The KOMBIT Context Handler created a SAML AuthnResponse based on registrations stored in the KOMBIT user administration system KOMBIT STS Administration (STS Admin or DK Admin for short).
The eHealth Infrastructure-hosted SAML Proxy - This service does tasks like substituting and translating KOMBIT-flavor SAML Attributes to ensure uniform OIOSAML OIO-BPP Attributes are provided to SEB. It also enhances OIOSAML Attributes by adding the employee's CPR number, obtained from the KOMBIT FK Organisation system.
Sundhedsvæsenets Elektroniske Brugerstyring (SEB) - This is the shared user administration platform for the Danish healthcare sector.
The eHealth Authorization Service (KeyCloak) - When the KOMBIT NSIS Context Handler can connect directly with SEB and the SAML-proxy is removed from the flow. The KeyCloak service shall then modify and adapt KOMBIT-style SAML Attributes to ensure they match the uniform OIOSAML OIO-BPP Attributes used.
Registrations Required in Municipal KOMBIT Systems
KOMBIT Terms and Concepts
The English terms used in the following do not constitute official, KOMBIT translations of the Danish terms used throughout KOMBIT documentation and systems. The Danish terms stem from section 3 in Brugervejledning til Administrationsmodulerne for leverandører.
The following terms are used in registrations in “Fælleskommunalt Administrationsmodul” (KOMBIT STS Admin):
Term | Description |
|---|---|
Usersystem (Danish: Brugervendt system) | An IT system that provides an access-controlled user interface, A user-system registered in the KOMBIT STS admin enables it to use KOMBIT systems for access control of end-users. |
Usersystem role (Danish: Brugersystemrolle) | Grouping of rights or permissions that define access and access restrictions to a specific user-facing system
|
Data constraint (Danish: Dataafgrænsning) | Restriction of a “user system role”, which narrows the system role's field of action |
Job function role (Danish: Jobfunktionsrolle) | Grouping of user system roles for an authority (e.g. municipality) used by the authority to assign access to the user. Each municipality shall maintain a set in KOMBIT STS Admin. Concerning eHealth Infrastructure, the job function role should comprise:
|
eHealth Infrastructure User-systems
For the KOMBIT external test environment the following eHealth environments are registered as user-facing systems, and thereby use KOMBIT systems for access control:
Usersystem in FK Administration | System | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | FUT - SAML Proxy (devtest) | FUT saml-proxy for the internal Systematic Test Environment. |
| 2 | FUT - SAML Proxy (inttest) | FUT saml-proxy for the eHealth Internal Test Environment |
| 3 | FUT - SAML Proxy (exttest) | FUT saml-proxy for the eHealth External Test environment (exttest) and external development environment (devenvcgi). |
| 4 | FUT - SAML Proxy (test002) | FUT saml-proxy for the eHealth Education environment (TEST002) |
| 5 | FUT - SAML Proxy (preprod) | FUT saml-proxy for the eHealth pre-production environment |
| 6 | “T-SEB” They are being used in the future when SEB and ContextHandler are directly connected. The name is not known by Systematic. | T-SEB for all eHealth test (incl. pre-prod) environments. |
Similar registrations are made in the KOMBIT STS Admin in the KOMBIT production environment, only here the sole SAML Proxy is in the eHealth Infrastructure production environment (PROD).
Data constraints (Danish: “data afgrænsninger”)
The data constraints are which narrow the user system role. In eHealth Infrastructure, there are two data constraints in use:
CareTeam - a system-specific data constraint identifying a CareTeam. The optional for some user system roles, required for others (see below)
Organisation - Cross-cutting (data constraint) identifying Organisation from KOMBIT FK Organisation. This data constraint is defined and maintained outside eHealth.
The following screenshot shows the “Fælleskommunalt Administrationsmodul” user interface for creating data constraints and mandatory fields.

|---|---|---|---|---|

KOMBIT User system roles for the eHealth Infrastructure
The following screenshot shows the “Fælleskommunalt Administrationsmodul” user interface for creating user system roles and mandatory fields.
User system roles for the eHealth Infrastructure registered in KOMBIT STS Admin:
shall have an EntityId on the form:
<Domain>appended with<KOMBIT role name for the eHealth Infrastructure>and<version>(see below).can have (and should have) a Danish name, the Danish designation https://docs.ehealth.sundhed.dk/latest-released/ig/CodeSystem-ehealth-oio-bpp-roles.html for the corresponding eHealth Infrastructure OIO BPP system role.
<Domain>shall reflect the eHealth Infrastructure environment for registration in the KOMBIT STS Admin. The<Domain>shall be one of the following:
eHealth Infrastructure Environment | Domain | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | INTTEST |
|
| 2 | EXTTEST, DEVENVCGI |
|
| 3 | TEST002 |
|
| 4 | PREPROD |
|
| 5 | PROD |
|
| 6 | “T-SEB” Name not known by Systematic |
Suggestion. |
In case of change in what eHealth Infrastructure environments shall support municipal federation of authentication and authorization, the above list needs to be updated. In addition, such a change needs to be implemented in the mapping performed by the SAML Proxy.
Mapping between KOMBIT user system role, the corresponding OIO BPP roles
The KOMBIT user system role has a different format than the eHealth Infrastructure OIO BPP system roles. The following table shows the KOMBIT user system role and the corresponding OIO BPP roles.

If the OIO BPP system roles system listed above deviate from the list in https://ehealth-dk.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EDTW/pages/291176482/Tokens+Roles+and+RBAC+ABAC#Privilege-Roles , the above list needs to be updated.
In addition, such a change needs to be implemented in the https://ehealth-dk.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EDTW/pages/2172125189/SAML+Proxy#Mapning-af-privilegier-og-constraints performed by the SAML Proxy.
Getting municipal employee CPR
To allow regional and municipal employees to access national healthcare solutions from the FUT Infrastructure their CPR information is required. The Infrastructure receive CPR for regional employees directly from SEB, however for municipal employees CPR must be obtained from Kombit FK Org. This is done through the internal OS2Sync service* running on the Infrastructure. OS2Sync uses BrugerService and PersonService version 6 of Kombit FK Org Version 3.2.
*Image used on the FUT Infrastructure can be found on dockerhub and source code on github.
