Canvas setup

Prerequisites

You need Canvas root administrator access, an RFM staging invite, and a sandbox course. The initial workflow uses manual registration.

Register the tool

1. 1

   Open Admin, then Developer Keys, and create an LTI key.

2. 2

   Enter RFM’s staging target-link, OIDC login, redirect, and JWKS values.

3. 3

   Enable the key and install it for the test account.

4. 4

   Copy the Canvas issuer, client ID, deployment ID, authorization URL, and JWKS URL into RFM.

5. 5

   Create one external-tool link in a sandbox course and launch with Student View.

Canvas notes

Canvas beta and production are separate environments. A verified beta setup does not automatically create or authorize the production deployment.
