Alrite finally i got the OpenSSL Crypto to work HealthVault. It took some Ninja hacking and quite a lot of debugging to figure out what was going wrong with signing of a xml for getting an authentication token from HealthVault. Turns out that my signing code was dead on but HealthVault didn’t quite like the white space in the “content” section. I wont belabor you more but the short of the long is that now OpenHealthVault can talk to HealthVault and get itself authenticated. As usual the code is at http://svn.vitraag.com/openhealthvault and the application in action is at http://openhealthvault.vitraag.com. Well now its time to get a user to be authenticated with HealthVault Shell and the Rails goodies, I expect these to flow rather smoothly.

Hey, this is great. Have you figured out how to use the session token to authenticate in a subsequent call? I am trying something simple like GetApplicationSettings. Let me know if we can collaborate on this. Thanks.
hi Peter -
I’m just in middle of finalizing and checking in the shell authentication. Should be there in early next week. Between yep you are welcome to collaborate on the project. Its live on codeplex now – http://www.codeplex.com/healthvaultrubylib its pretty bare bones now but it will great to have contributions at early stage.
