Best practices for securing InterSystems IRIS APIs

 I’m currently working with REST APIs in InterSystems IRIS and would like to better understand the recommended security practices for production environments.

I’m especially interested in:

  • Authentication and authorization methods
  • Token management strategies
  • Role-based access control
  • API gateway recommendations
  • Encryption and secure communication practices
  • Monitoring and logging for API activity

I would also appreciate learning about common mistakes to avoid when deploying APIs publicly or integrating with external systems.

What approaches or tools have worked best in your environments?

Enabling Delegated Authentication with IPM via module.xml

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.

Exposing HealthInsight Dashboards on Internet via CSP Web App – 404 Not Found issue

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.
