Hi, Can anyone please explain how to identify sender application when receiving patient resource. if its bundle we can use message header. Without bundle how to identify the sender of the resource ?

If you're making a RESTful search, you know what server you're querying from. There'll also be a fullUrl in the Bundle that tells you the specific server the data came from. If you're just doing a read (and don't get back a Bundle), you should know what URL you were doing the read against, but there'll be a 'Location' header in the response that will tell you the URL as well.

@Radha Rajendran You may also what to look into Provenance. If you are concern with where did this information originate prior to coming to the FHIR Server endpoint, then a Provenance resource is where that information would be found (or stored).

Often with REST, even when it is a Bundle... the sender is identified using OAuth. See SMART-on-FHIR or IHE-IUA. Both are profiles on OAuth for use with http REST and FHIR.

What implementation are you all using to identify sender of the resource (Provenance or OAuth/OpenID or any other option )?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 02 2021 at 14:08):
By 'sender' do you mean system or user?
