Hi,

I have passed my Registry JWT(2019) as a Bearer Token in Authorization section and when I tried to send a post method to https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/eligibility/secure/opt-in?year=2019 getting the following error message.

Input:

{
"tin": "000456789",
"optIn": true
}

Error Message:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "Authentication is required",
        "type": "JsonWebTokenError"
    }
}

Thanks

Kishore

Kishore,

I am also facing the same issue when tried using the preview Opt-In eligibility API(https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/eligibility/secure/opt-in?year=2019) with our developer preview registry token(2019) and followed the steps documented in https://cmsgov.github.io/qpp-eligibility-docs/opt-in.

But, we are successful in using the same developer registry token(2019) for submissions(https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/submissions/{path}).

Can anyone help me?

Best Regards

Hari Krishna

Hi Sarah,

Can you please update urgently? We are also facing the same issue.

We using https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/eligibility/secure/opt-in?year=2019 & registry token.

Are we referring to the correct URL? Since documentation is having URL as https://qpp.cms.gov/api/eligibility/secure/opt-in?year=2019.

Also please let us know if we don't need to use the preview URL then how can we use this in our development env?

Hi Sarah,

We are now able to hit the API with our QR key however not with QCDR key.

With QR key we are getting the following error:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "tin": "000456789",
            "error": {
                "code": 404,
                "name": "NotFoundError",
                "message": "TIN not found."
            }
        }
    ]
}

Is there any test TIN & NPI combination available for individual & group? If not available, can you let us know how to create test data?

I'm still having the issue originally discussed in this thread with my Registry QRDA JWT Token not working for this API. The token works fine for submissions but is rejected on this API with:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "Authentication is required",
        "type": "JsonWebTokenError"
    }
}

Is there authentication required in addition to the QRDA token?

Hi Abeeb,

I'm still facing the same issue.

"message": "Authentication is required",

"type": "JsonWebTokenError".

So, I would like to provide detailed steps/scenarios that I have performed. Please correct me, where I was wrong.

Creating a test data using Test Data service

Step 1: Success

Invoke the scenarios endpoint https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/synthetic-data/scenarios using registry bearer token

Result:

Received the list of scenario's available --

Step 2: Success with warning

Invoke the reserve endpoint(https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/synthetic-data/reserve) using registry bearer token by selecting a scenario type.

Result:

Received the test NPI and TIN data consisting of roles security official and staff
However, found a statement in the output that " "provisioningDetails": "Your passwords were not set correctly, please manually set user passwords."," . Ignored it and moved forward

Step 3: Failed

Invoke the list endpoint(https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/synthetic-data/list)

Result:

Received the error message: "ExpressionAttributeValues contains invalid value: Supplied AttributeValue is empty, must contain exactly one of the supported datatypes for key :login

Step 4: Failed

Invoke the /resetPassword to change the password

Result:

Received the error message:

{
"statusCode": 400,
"message": "unknown error resetting user password"
}

Step 5: Failed

Invoke the POST/GET method for OPT-In(https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/eligibility/secure/opt-in?year=2019) using the test NPI/TIN received from step 1 with my registry bearer token

Result:

Received the error message:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "Authentication is required",
        "type": "JsonWebTokenError"
    }
}

Step 6: Failed

When I tried to discard using https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/synthetic-data/id/discard

Result:

Received the error message "message": "you are not the owner of the reserved data set"

Question:

Do I need to perform any authentication process for my token or the test accounts provided? Please guide me so that I can be on the right path.

By the way, when I tried to authenticate my test accounts using https://preview.qpp.cms.gov/api/auth/authn. Received the error message as "loginStatus": "LOCKED_OUT"

Any help from the group is highly appreciated.

Best Regards

Hari Krishna
