Verify My Identity is a certified OpenID Connect Provider. Its supports role-based permissions by using Django groups. VMI manages relationships between organizations, staff users, and consumer users. Other features include:

• Trusted Referee Support - According to NIST SP 800-63-3.
• FIDO U2F / FIDO 2 Support
• Text Message Multi-factor authentication support
• Vectors of Trust Support
• Support for document and address claims as defined in the iGov Profile for OIDC.

This project is based on Python 3.6 and Django 2.1.x.

Download the project:

git clone https://github.com/TransparentHealth/vmi.git

Install supporting libraries. (Consider using virtualenv for your python setup).

cd vmi
pip install -r requirements.txt

Depending on your local environment you made need some supporting libraries for the above command to run cleanly. For example you need a compiler and python-dev.

Add some entries to your /etc/hosts file.

If running this OIDC server in conjunction with smh_app or sharemyhealth (OAuth2 server) on the same machine for development, then we recommend setting up names for each server host in /etc/hosts. You might add lines like the following to /etc/hosts file:

 127.0.0.1       verifymyidentity
 127.0.0.1       smhapp
 127.0.0.1       sharemyhealth

Setup some local environment variables.

export EC2PARAMSTORE_4_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES=".ENV" 
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="YOUR_KEY_ID"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_SECRET"
export OIDC_PROVIDER="http://verifymyidentity:8000"
export OIDC_ISSUER="http://verifymyidentity:8000"
export ALLOWED_HOSTS="*"
export DJANGO_SUPERUSER_USERNAME="youruser"
export DJANGO_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD="yourpassword"
export DJANGO_SUPERUSER_EMAIL="super@example.com"
export DJANGO_SUPERUSER_FIRST_NAME="Super"
export DJANGO_SUPERUSER_LAST_NAME="User"

The EC2PARAMSTORE_4_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES setting says to look for env vars in a file called .env. If this string is EC2_PARAMSTORE, the anything in .env will be overridden with parameters in an AWS EC2 Parameter store. There are a number of variables that can be set based on your specific environment and setup. This is how you can brand the project to your needs. See the settings.py and for a full list. Below are some basic variable you may want to set.

Just add the above to a .env and then do a source .env. Without valid AWS credentials email and SMS text functions will not work. The superuser settings are used to create a default superuser.

Create the database:

python manage.py migrate

Create initial Groups and Permissions, and Organizations

python manage.py create_default_groups
python manage.py create_sample_organizations

Create a superuser (Optional)

python manage.py create_super_user_from_envars

In development our convention is to run vmi on port 8000, sharemyhealth on 8001, and smh_app on 8002. To start this server on port 8001 issue the following command.

 python manage.py runserver 

This will start the server on the default port of 8000.

Alternatively, a Docker configuration is available in:

.development

By default the docker instance will be attached to port 8000 on localhost

It will also configure a postgreSQL instance on port 5432.

If you're working with a fresh db image the migrations have to be run.

docker-compose -f .development/docker-compose.yml exec web python manage.py migrate

If you make changes to requirements.txt to add libraries re-run docker-compose with the --build option.

After the VMI Docker container is completely setup, you execute Django commands like so:

docker-compose -f .development/docker-compose.yml exec web python manage.py

Connecting ShareMyHealth ShareMyHealth App, and VerifyMyIdentity ------------------------------------------====================---

The following link outlines some settings for getting Verify My Identity and Share My Health working in a in a local development environment.

Local Verify My Identity and Share My Health

VerifyMyIdentity - VMI, a standards-focused OpenID Connect Identity Provider.

ShareMyHealth is designed as a consumer-mediated health information exchange. It is an OAuth2 Provider and FHIR Server.
ShareMyHealth acts as a relying party to vmi.

ShareMyHealth App is a web application for community members and community-based organizations. It functions as a personal health record and allows users to selectivly share information with organizations they choose.

ShareMyHealth App is an OAuth2 client to ShareMyHealth. It gets healkth information as FHIR. It is also a relying party to vmi.

vmi uses css resources from Bootstrap (v.3.3.x) and Font-Awesome (v4.4.x).
