Hey,
Just wondering if any one has been able to create an LTI that uses an external parties deeplink so that i can add the link somewhere inside Canvas. We have the data we need to pass in the integration id field of all users in our instance but I'm a bit confused with the LTI creation process.
I have tried following the instructions on the given on the LTI documentation site but I'm getting a bit confused with the login url etc.
Below is what I have. Variables have been replaced for submission.
{
"title":"DeepLink - Student",
"scopes":[ ],
"extensions":[
{
"domain":"custom.deeplink.com",
"tool_id":"add-deepink-canvas_student",
"platform":"canvas.instructure.com",
"settings":{
"text":"DeepLink for student",
"icon_url":"{URLtoIMAGE}",
"placements":[
{
"text":"View DeepLink for $Canvas.user.name",
"enabled":true,
"icon_url":"{URLtoIMAGE}",
"placement":"user_navigation",
"message_type":"LtiResourceLinkRequest",
"target_link_uri":"{URLToService}?ProfileExternalId=$Canvas.user.sisIntegrationId",
"canvas_icon_class":"icon-lti"
}
]
}
}
],
"public_jwk":{

"alg":"RS256",

"use":"sig"
},
"target_link_uri":"URLToService",
"description":"DeepLink",
"oidc_initiation_url":"https://canvas.test.instructure.com",
}
As I'm not trying to leave Canvas to do anything should the oidc be my canvas instance?
Am i trying to do something you can't do? I just want to be able to add the link in here to the user navigation for everyone. Is the JWT bit correct too? I am very confused with this part as I don't really understand it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated?
Kind Regards
