Hi all,
i am setting up a viewer to integrate with my orthanc instance using DICOM web (QIDO/WADO).
I want to know where should i add in the token for http headers token in Orthanc so that both orthanc and viewer can integrate. Currently im getting a authroization error on the viewer.
Aprreciate all the help!
Hello,
There are multiple ways of controlling authorization with Orthanc:
You could simply use the “Authorization: Basic ” HTTP header thanks to the “RegisteredUsers” configuration option of Orthanc:
https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/configuration.html
You could use a custom Lua callback, which could allow you to validate the “Authorization: Bearer ” HTTP header:

You could do the same with a Python plugin (possibly in conjunction with the “orthanc.GenerateRestApiAuthorizationToken()” Python function):
https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/python.html#forbid-or-allow-access-to-rest-resources-authorization-new-in-3-0

If you are a C/C++ developer, the same could be implemented as a C/C++ plugin:

You could setup a reverse proxy (nginx, Apache or IIS) on the top of the REST API of Orthanc to handle authorization:
