Setting up the development environment

The INSi teleservice retrieval operation is not relevant to software like yours that does not log identities. Retrieving the technical documentation relating to the verification operation from my Espace Industriel on the GIE SESAM-Vitale website. Signing a contract with the CNDA to access the test environments. Ordering your CPx test cards or test certificates from the ANS

Prerequisites

You must have downloaded and read the documentation base

Our advice

  • Order your CPx test cards or test certificates as soon as possible, as they may take a while to come.
  • If you already have an account on the GIE SESAM-Vitale Espace Industriel, download the documentation relating to the INSi teleservice directly.
  • If you have already signed a contract with the CNDA, connect directly to your personal space and sign the special conditions of the INSi teleservice.

Important

This step is not for you if

  • Your software receives health data referenced with the INS only from your identification domain (your software does not receive health data referenced with the INS from another identification domain)

OR

  • Your software stores health data .... (example: Regional PACS)

02. Downloading the technical documentation from the GIE SESAM-Vitale

The GIE SESAM-Vitale supports software publishers in developing their solutions and integrating the INSi teleservice.

At the GIE SESAM-Vitale’s Espace Industriels, you can get all the technical documentation for developing calls to the INSi teleservice.

CPx test cards and test certificates

CPx test cards and test certificates must be ordered from the ANS as soon as possible. To do so, follow the detailed procedure on the ANS website.

Depending on your needs, you might order just CPx test cards, just test certificates, or both.

Important: If you already have test CPx cards and test certificates, check their validity. These products expire after three years.
