MONAILabel: OHIF Viewer : Couldn't connect to Orthanc Server
Describe the bug
I am trying to use OHIF viewer. When trying to run monailabel start_server --app apps\deepedit --studies http://127.0.0.1:8042/dicom-web this URL , it pops up with a dialogbox to enter the username and password.
I tried some default username and password, but it doesn’t signed into the Orthanc Server.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: For this, I followed the below steps which was mentioned in the document.
- Installed Orthanc using apt-get install orthanc orthanc-dicomweb.
- Upgraded to latest version by following steps mentioned here
Now the orthanc server setup is completed.
- Run the command
monailabel start_server --app apps\deepedit --studies http://127.0.0.1:8042/dicom-web
Expected behavior
I expect that orthanc server should load without the authentication pop up.

Hi @Suchi97,
Once you redo the installation for Orthanc you might want to update a few fields in its configuration (
/etc/orthanc/orthanc.json). To disable authentication you can setbut that’s not sufficient if your orthanc server isn’t on the same machine (or container) as the label server, s you’ll have to set
and make sure that
If you don’t want to disable authentication to Orthanc, you can setup your own user
Furthermore you will want to double check that your dicomweb module is enabled, and that the configuration file exists (e…g
/etc/orthanc/dicomweb.json). If you have a dicomweb config likeyou should be able to check the URL: http://localhost:8042/dicom-web/app/client/index.html to see if your DICOMweb service is enabled and working.
As @SachidanandAlle explained you will have to set the args for username and password in version 0.2.0 or setup the env vars for 0.3.0.
You can also check whether things are working for you with dicomweb using
Hi @diazandr3s, the issue has been resolved thanks to the documentation which I found online. Thanks
@aihsani @SachidanandAlle @diazandr3s Thanks for your suggestions. @aihsani Thanks for your detailed description.
I reinstalled the orthanc application and then edited the configuration files (
/etc/orthanc/orthanc.json and /etc/orthanc/dicomweb.json) as @aihsani 's comment.Now I am able to authenticate the orthanc server. Its working fine. Thanks again for your great help.
Sure @diazandr3s. Let me try this and I will let u know
Thanks @SachidanandAlle for your suggestions.
I am on vacation… so asking some one to help u… remove currect Orthanc… and try installing Orthanc from a docker or in another box… not able to guess what is wrong with your Orthanc…
@diazandr3s see if you can help…
Another thing… which version of monailabel you are trying…? I suspect you are using 0;2 version… And was giving solution based on 0.3
Because these args doesn’t exist in 0.3 and were part of 0.2 USING:: username = None USING:: password = None USING:: wado_prefix = USING:: qido_prefix = USING:: stow_prefix =
In that case, if you still want to user 0.2 version… then the correct way to pass username and password is
monailabel start_server --app apps/deepedit --studies http://127.0.0.1:8042/dicom-web --username orthanc --password orthancIf you want to run orthanc… with own config… you can do so… first you can stop the service… and then run orthanc binary (Orthanc)… https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/configuration.html#configuration
But if you have already auth configured and you are not able to disable… what is the username and password? I believe default is orthanc and orthanc
but what we have used day-in-day-out… you can always configure username and password… and send it to monailabel server…
In the start logs… actually these flags are printed for debug reasons… you should see them instead of
NoneYou should be able to use this username when you access http://<my_ip>:8042/app/explorer.html (instead of localhost)@Suchi97 were you able to resolve this issue?
The latest error says something different… some PIP package/env issue… earlier you were able to run everything but not able to use OHIF as it was requesting for auth… but now some import error…
Just to isolate the env problem vs orthanc… have you tried with few images in folder… and used 3D slicer instead of OHIF… to run e2e functionality
