Patient Portal Oauth Token

OpenEMR Development
1

Hello. Love OpenEMR.

I’m trying to use the patient Portal REST endpoints could not get a token for a patient portal user using the
/oauth2/default/token endpoint.

But looking at the code it seems like this endpoint only authenticates non-portal users. Is there a different way to get a patient portal token?

If not, is this something that I could contribute to implement? Or is it already in the works.

Thanks

Ok so I was not passing the correct arguments.

Preconditons:

The portal user must exist.
For that user in patient_access_onsite table:
portal_pwd_status must be 1 or 3
portal_onetime must be NULL

A client must be registered (check Administration > System > Api Clients) with the following scopes:

api:port patient/encounter.read patient/patient.read api:fhir

Note that even if you’re not trying to access a fhir api route, it’s a necessary scope or else this error is returned when trying to get token:


{

  "error": "invalid_scope",

  "error_description": "The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed",

  "hint": "Check the `api:port` scope",

  "message": "The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed"

}

Not sure if that’s a bug or intentional

Sample CURL request to log in

curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8300/oauth2/default/token \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  --header 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---011000010111000001101001' \
  --form username=wesley@wesleylima.com \
  --form password=PASSWORDHERE \
  --form grant_type=password \
  --form client_id=CLIENT_ID_HERE \
  --form 'scope=api:port patient/encounter.read patient/patient.read api:fhir' \
  --form user_role=patient \
  --form email=wesley@wesleylima.com

Note that both email and username are required even if your portal settings allow email-only login.

}

Then with the access token, we can now get portal api routes for the logged in user!

curl --request GET \
  --url http://localhost:8300/apis/default/portal/patient \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJKU2pteGs0MmhnazNLRmVxdUFFUmlQQkRvZ3AyZDNjcHVybnpjRTJzZkZrIiwianRpIjoiMTZkMjM4ZjYwYjI4M2IwNWEyNGU1NzA2YTZiOWQwNmJiZDY3ZTViZDFjNmJhZWI1MTNmNjY3NzI0YThhZDhiODJlZjJmYzM2MTFiMmI2YTMiLCJpYXQiOjE2MTIwNDE0MTYsIm5iZiI6MTYxMjA0MTQxNiwiZXhwIjoxNjEyMDQ1MDE2LCJzdWIiOiI5MjljMmY4OS0xMWJkLTQzOTctYjZiNy1mYTgzMzdlNTNiNGUiLCJzY29wZXMiOlsiYXBpOnBvcnQiLCJwYXRpZW50XC9lbmNvdW50ZXIucmVhZCIsInBhdGllbnRcL3BhdGllbnQucmVhZCIsImFwaTpmaGlyIiwic2l0ZTpkZWZhdWx0Il19.EQxvPU3gRODh03-C1SZLRaE-4Zy5CbY7Hu6sQd1G2Od5oL1MWw_rWGyj3mtNSJyqj3JHgxl4JmPhAc0e0J4EHA9pB5TMFqTHXOhVe6KHZQZgyihpwT3PaGqjoQrT0xa_JQtgszoP_IRC76d1Dg5yJp37cq1XWGltMOhXMy_nJWkCDOvoSKAXeLbDGQgEyFRGQgAmIU5YbqY2Iqx6ltlb_TcvsawROJgZ_4si6FmNac32QGQNTizP690mIbCrBzLtShH0cM6MzQ3FnERWvIg0QGundKtvJOFGtSIlbrI0g3Ptq3MO1_oGkusqzXg_E3edF3713dxXe3beCFnxppHDCg'
