Verified steps

  1. Fetch the server's UDAP metadata from .well-known/udap on the FHIR base URL to discover udap_versions_supported, registration_endpoint, and grant_types_supported
  2. Build a signed software statement JWT containing client_name, redirect_uris, grant_types, scope, and iss equal to the client's UDAP subject alternative name (SAN) from its X.509 certificate
  3. Sign the software statement with the client's private key; include the full X.509 certificate chain in the x5c header
  4. POST to the registration_endpoint with the software statement; receive a client_id in the response — store it for subsequent token requests
  5. Use the registered client_id with a signed client_assertion JWT to authenticate at the token endpoint in subsequent access token requests
