Data Exchange Gateway (DEX) Config

The MDH DEX Config is an internal application that allows MDH DEX administrators to create DEX resource owners and DEX resources.

How to a create a new resource owner

The first step is to create a new AD group that will contain the individuals that will be resource owners. The AD group must be placed under OU=Messaging, OU=Service, OU=NDS, DC=MDH-AD, DC=HEALTH, DC=STATE, DC=MN, DC=US and the AD group name must start with DEX-Owner-.

How to create a new resource

1. Owner: Select the group responsible to administrator resource access.
2. Select the scope (GET, POST, PUT)
   1. PUT - should be used with direct resources only since 2025.08.07.
3. Display Name: Include the owner group name and details regarding the type of message.
   1. Example: MSG - Input - Developer
4. Access Type: Direct for GET and PUT, Proxy for POST.
5. Context Path: starting with the owner then go from least to most specific.  This is a bit subjective.
   1. Example: msg/input/developer
6. Supporting Documentation: Optional.  Add link to owner group website for implementation guides or the DEX Resources subsite when available.
