General

The following options are generally available to all connections:

• None: Uses no authentication.
• Basic: Uses username and password to perform basic authentication.
• ApiKey: Uses the APIKey for the authentication.
• OAuth: Uses OAuth 2.0, with the specific flow being determined by the GrantType=CODE. The OAuthVersion must be set to determine what version of OAuth is used.
• GenericOAuth: Uses OAuth 2.0, with the specific flow being determined by the GrantType=CODE. The OAuthVersion must be set to determine what version of OAuth is used.
• GenericOAuthClient: Uses OAuth 2.0, with the specific flow being determined by the GrantType=CLIENT. The OAuthVersion must be set to determine what version of OAuth is used.
• OAuthJWT: Set this to perform OAuth authentication with a JWT certificate. Requires the following additional connection properties. [OAuthJWTCert,/OAuthJWTCertType/OAuthJWTCertPassword/OAuthJWTCertSubject/OAuthJWTIssuer/OAuthJWTSubject]
• AzureAD: Set this to perform Azure Active Directory OAuth authentication.
• AzureMSI: Set this to automatically obtain Managed Service Identity credentials when running on an Azure VM.
• AzureServicePrincipal: Set this to authenticate as an Azure Service Principal.
• AwsRootKeys: Set this to use the root user access key and secret. Useful for quickly testing, but production use cases are encouraged to use something with narrowed permissions.
• AwsIAMRoles: Set to use AWS IAM Roles for the connection.
• AwsEC2Roles: Set this to automatically use AWS IAM Roles assigned to the EC2 machine the CData Python Connector for FHIR is currently running on.
