The Authorization Server SHALL response with a HTTP response conveying a JSON formatted object as HTTP body element. The JSON object SHALL convey the following attributes:
Attribute | Optionality | Reference | Description |
---|---|---|---|
authorization_endpoint | R | SMART on FHIR / IUA | URL to the IUA Authorization Server endpoint. |
token_endpoint | R | SMART on FHIR / IUA | Authorization Server’s Authorization token end-point location. |

response_types_supported | O | SMART on FHIR / IUA | Recommended: Supported OAuth2.1 response_type values. |
grant_types_supported | R | IUA | SHALL be “authorization_code”. |
