An initialization vector (IV) adds a layer of cryptographic security to encrypted information sent in URL query strings. Possible applications include (but are not limited to) DocPop and the OnBase Patient Window. It is highly recommended that this setting is configured if you have any OnBase applications that will receive Epic authentication information through a URL query string.

To configure initialization vectors for URL integrations:

  1. In the OnBase Configuration module, select Utils | External Systems. The External System Configuration dialog box is displayed.
  2. Select Epic and click Values. The External System Parameter Configuration dialog box is displayed.
  3. In the Key field, type the following: Epic Encryption Initialization Vector Required
    Note:

    Key names are case sensitive. Type the name exactly as displayed.

  4. In the Value field, enter one of the following values:

    Value

    Description

    True

    False

    Accepts encrypted information with or without an initialization vector.

  5. Click Add.
  6. Click Save.
    Note:

    If you click Save without first clicking Add, the specified Key and Value are automatically added.
