Hi everyone,

I’ve configured an integration scenario in InterSystems IRIS with a Business Service exposed as a SOAP web service. Everything works correctly when the web application allows unauthenticated access.

However, when I switch the web application to require Basic Authentication, I’m unable to get it working properly. I have configured a resource and assigned it to both the web application and the user I’m using for the request, but I consistently get login failures (visible in the audit log).

Hi:

I see a lot of cool REST apps and i'm trying to host something in the TIE using REST/Axios with VITE. 

At the moment i will probably host the application in web applications in Intersytems. 

For authorisation and getting the logged in user and password to any app, is there a standard people are doing? 

I.e. for axios you might have this from the app

auth: {
        username: apiUser,
        password: apiPass
      }

But surely you want to pass through credentials from the IRIS logged in user, or alternatively pass the credential request to IRIS API to first receive the data.

Hi community,

A colleague gets ERROR #822: Access denied every time he tries to log in via Management portal. It is NOT the case of wrong credentials: I reset his password password to a temporary one so it would prompt him to create a new one upon first login. He did get the prompt, changed his password and his next attempt at logging in displayed the same error.

The audit log record displays this:
Error message: ERROR #862: User is restricted from running application /csp/sys/op, %Admin_Operate:U required -- cannot execute.

I am trying to set up a web application with Delegated Authentication via IPM. It is possible to give a specific application Delegated Authentication:

<WebApplicationName

with the AutheEnabled field. This will display the authentication as "delegated" in the SMP Web Applications display, but when one enters the settings page for this application, there is no checkbox for Delegated. This also doesn't seem to function -- ZAUTHENTICATE is never called.

Hello,

I need to expose InterSystems HealthInsight dashboards over the internet to external operators. The authentication flow is managed externally. When a user is authenticated, our system receives an HTTP request with specific headers (e.g., operator’s fiscal code and hospital identifier) that we need to extract in order to:

  • Authorize the user to access the dashboards.
  • Apply row-level security on the dashboards, filtering the data by hospital and user role.
