The Registered Apps is a listing of all of the SMART on FHIR apps that are registered with your sandbox. These apps may be selected from a catalog of apps or may be registered by a member of your sandbox. |
Apps from the catalog are hosted by HSPCLogica. Apps you register yourself may be hosted anywhere on the internet, or on your local machine. Launching an app in your sandbox using the SMART of FHIR authorization specification, requires that you register the app with the authorization server.
...
There are currently two app types you can register for, a "Public" or "Confidential" app. With a confidential app, the authorization takes place on the server side (ex. JSP code) such that a secret is not accessible by an end user running your app in the browser. For example, in a JSP app the authorization takes place on the server side in Java code and the client (browser) side never has access to the secret. A public app is an app in which the source code is visible, therefore, it cannot hide a secret (such as a password). JavaScript apps are public apps.
App Name
The app name is simply a human readable name for your app. This name will be displayed by the authorization server to end users during the initial authorization of you app.
...
The scopes is a comma separated list of scopes for which your app can request authorization from the authorization server. Scopes allow your app to restrict what data will be allowed to be accessed from the FHIR server.
