HEALTH TECH VENDOR
IMPLEMENTATION

This article is specific to SSO destinations, or SSO configs as they’re referred to in the Redox dashboard. A health tech vendor needs an SSO destination to launch an app from an EHR system. Learn more about handling app launch (SSO).

Prerequisites

  • A user must be assigned to an engineer role to manage destinations. Learn about user roles.
  • Decide on and configure your supported authentication standard (e.g., SMART on FHIR®, SAML Web Browser Profile) to handle app launch.

Create an SSO destination

  1. Log in to the Redox dashboard.
  2. From the navigation menu, click the Developer page.
  3. By default, the Sources tab opens. Click the Destinations tab.
  4. Any existing destinations display. Click the New SSO config button to create an SSO destination.
  5. A new modal opens with a field for the name. Enter the name and click the Add button. 
    A user enters the name of a new SSO config, or destination, and the Add button is highlighted to complete setup.

  6. The Settings page for the new destination opens. The Name field displays the name you entered previously. Enter the SSO settings:
    1. SSO URL: Enter the URL that will receive POST requests. The URL should use SSL/TLS encryption, which means it needs to start with https://.
    2. SSO error URL: Enter the URL where the requestor should be redirected in the event of an error message. We recommend a static error page separate from the SSO service.
  7. In the SSO secret field, click the New secret button.
  8. A modal appears, which allows you to set a new secret. Click the Yes, change it button.
    A confirmation modal requires a user to confirm whether they want to change the SSO secret.
