Secure connection between Orthanc and Stone Viewer without login

Hi there,

So I am using a custom “Reporting” web app for a radiology workflow, this is where all the user management happens as well. So I can integrate the Orthanc data via API (show a list of studies), but when it comes to viewing the studies with Stone Viewer within this application it seems the user then needs to authenticate with a username/password.

Is there a way to do a more full integration so the user just logs into my existing reporting system, and then they can see a list of studies pulled from the Orthanc API and view the study images in Stone viewer (or other viewer like OHIF, Osimis)?

So in other words, I’m hoping users do not need to authenticate when viewing not only the orthanc data but also when actually viewing the study images.

Is this possible or do I need to build a custom viewer within my application that views through to the Orthanc data? (if so, do you know of a simple web based open source viewer that will integrate well?)

Thanks for all your help!
Kyle

Hi Kyle,

This demo setup explains how to do that using the authorization plugin. Note that it currently does not work with StoneViewer but Sébastien should fix that in the near future.

By the end of November, we will also release a more complete setup with production ready web-services. I’ll talk about that during the OrthancCon.

HTH

Alain.

Thanks Alain, I’ll dig into this! Also looking forward to the Stoneviewer auth integration.
Thanks,

Hello,

For your interest, the following changeset should fix the authentication issue:

It will be part of forthcoming release 2.4 of the Stone Web viewer.

Regards,
