The OnBase Web Viewer allows you to retrieve OnBase documents from within an Epic environment. When Epic launches the OnBase Web Viewer, it passes the following identification to the OnBase API for authentication:
-
Epic ID —User ID that is unique to each Epic user and is used to create an associated user name in OnBase. The Epic ID is added to the OnBase user group ALL EPIC USERS if it is not already there.
-
External Authentication username and External Authentication password —A special API uses these parameters, which are configured within an Epic Environment, to verify that the connection to OnBase can be attempted and to identify the connection as coming from Epic.
If the integrated login fails, you cannot manually log on to the OnBase Web Viewer.
This API is the same one used for the Scan Acquisition Server, except that Epic is making this authentication call directly.
