+Advanced authorization for Orthanc
+==================================
+
+
+General Information
+-------------------
+
+This repository contains the source code of an advanced authorization
+plugin for Orthanc.
+
+For each incoming REST request to some URI, the plugin will query a
+Web service to know whether the access is granted to the
+user. Authorization credentials can be retrieved either from a GET
+argument, or from a HTTP header.
+
+
+Installation and usage
+----------------------
+
+Build instructions are similar to that of Orthanc:
+https://orthanc.chu.ulg.ac.be/book/faq/compiling.html
+
+Usage details are available as part of the Orthanc Book:
+http://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/authorization.html
+
+
+Licensing
+---------
+
+The authorization plugin for Orthanc is licensed under the AGPL license.
+
+We also kindly ask scientific works and clinical studies that make
+use of Orthanc to cite Orthanc in their associated publications.
