Auth service in https

General
1

Hi everybody,
my Orthanc with the Advanced auth plugin enabled, should call a custom authorization web service. If the web service uses the https protocol, is that enough to call the correct url (setting inside the configuration as “https://web_service_url”)? Or is it necessary to pass the certificate to the client for calling this web service? If yes, is there a configuration that allows this operation?
Tks everybody.

Hi,

First of all, you should use the mainline binaries because the current official release of the auth plugin (0.9.0) does not support HTTPS. (release notes)

Note that I’ll probably release 0.9.1 next week.

Best,

Alain.

Hi Alain,
thank you for the answer. So with the 0.9.1 release of the advanced authorization plugin it will be possible to call an external web service for the authorization over the https protocol? To do that do I need just to set the correct url inside the Orhtanc configuration (in the “Authorization” section)?
Tks a lot
