PASSING AUTHENTICATION TOKEN TO AUTHORIZE ACCESS TO REST CALLS VIA WEB SOCKETS

Abstract:

Various techniques for facilitating communication with and across a clinical environment and a cloud environment are described. For example, a method for authenticating a network device residing in the clinical environment using a token is described. An authentication proxy in the cloud environment can receive a request from a connectivity adapter in the clinical environment and retrieve a security token from an authentication system in the cloud. The connectivity adapter can use the security token to send signed requests to the authentication system.
