[ARCHIVED] LTI 1.3 Client ID and deployment id to differentiate LMS and institutions.

[srikumar_subram]

We are trying to work with LTI 1.3 with Canvas. In IMS Global LTI 1.3 implementation, we will need Client Id and Deployment id for us to differentiate between institutions. One concern that Canvas provide the only client id parameter but not the deployment. Do does Canvas expect us to differentiate between the institution?

Deployment Id is unique for each deployment in an LMS, so when somebody launches your tool it comes to the "redirect" endpoint in the JWT token's body with the other parameters, after the service provider verifies you.

After you create and configure the Developer key for your app (see detailed instructions here) you can get both the client_id and the deployment_id.

The client_id is the developer key; it's a numeric value that looks something like

32450000000000542. 

The deployment_id can be found in Settings | Apps | App Configurations by opening the settings menu for your app. It is an alphanumeric string that might look something like 10832:7db538f4ca75c02373788b2ac73869cf572b0b68
