+
+
+Advanced authorization plugin
+=============================
+
+.. contents::
+
+This **official plugin by Osimis** extends Orthanc with advanced
+authorization mechanism.
+
+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.
+
+Compilation
+-----------
+
+.. highlight:: bash
+
+The procedure to compile these plugins is similar of that for the
+:ref:`core of Orthanc <binaries>`. The following commands should work
+for every UNIX-like distribution (including GNU/Linux)::
+
+  $ mkdir Build
+  $ cd Build
+  $ cmake .. -DSTATIC_BUILD=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+  $ make
+
+The compilation will produce a shared library ``OrthancAuthorization``
+that contains the authorization plugin.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+.. highlight:: json
+
+You of course first have to :ref:`install Orthanc <compiling>`. Once
+Orthanc is installed, you must change the :ref:`configuration file
+<configuration>` to tell Orthanc where it can find the plugin: This is
+done by properly modifying the ``Plugins`` option. You could for
+instance use the following configuration file::
+
+  {
+    "Name" : "MyOrthanc",
+    [...]
+    "Plugins" : [
+      "/home/user/OrthancAuthorization/Build/libOrthancAuthorization.so"
+    ]
+  }
+
+.. highlight:: text
+
+Orthanc must of course be restarted after the modification of its
+configuration file.
