When integrating with a FHIR server, it is crucial to consult its maintainers regarding appropriate security mechanisms, as using Basic Auth and OAuth simultaneously is not permitted.
Basic Auth employs a username and password with predetermined credentials from the FHIR server maintainers, allowing easy integration without requiring restarts or reloads.
OAuth operates through short-lived tokens linked to specific scopes, providing a framework by which APIs can be accessed based on defined permissions.
SSL/TLS encryption is essential for securing FHIR API communications and can be independently utilized alongside Basic Auth or OAuth, regardless of the authorization method.
