Simple RHEx Web Application

This is a basic web application that shows how OpenID Connect can be applied to the healthcare domain. It will allow for the upload and viewing of clinical documents.

Requirements

This application relies on the OpenID Connect Gateway for restricting access. The gateway will authenticate users before they can access the web application. Once the user is authenticated, they will be passed along to this application with the user information available in the HTTP_X_AUTH HTTP header.

Architecture

                             +-------------------+
                             | OpenID Connect    |
                             | Identity Provider |
                             +-------------------+
                                      ^
                                      |
                                      |
                                      |
                                      |
                                      |
                                      +

Installation

The following instructions will set up the Simple Web Application with the OpenID Connect Relying Party Gateway authenticating users.

Prerequisites

To install the OpenID Connect Relying Party Gateway

git clone https://github.com/project-rhex/openid_connect_gateway.git
cd openid_connect_gateway
bundle install

Edit openid.yml to point to the OpenID Connect Identity Provider of your choice. Once that is configured, you can run:

bundle exec rackup -p 3000

To install the Simple Web Application

Set up the MySQL database:

mysql -u root
mysql> create database simple_rhex_dev

Install the Ruby on Rails application

git clone https://github.com/project-rhex/simple_rhex.git
cd simple_rhex
bundle install

Initialize the database

bundle exec rake db:migrate

Run the application

bundle exec rails server -p 3002

Accessing the application

You should now be able to access the application at http://localost:3000/patients. Upon hitting the URL, you will be redirected to your OpenID Connect Identity Provider.
