Registering a NUMBAS-LTI server with Anthology

[David Martin]

I have just installed NUMBAS-LTI via docker on RHEL9 and it seems to run fine. My next step is to register it with Anthology so I can add it to our blackboard instance.

Couple of things: 

1. The link to anthology in the server is now broken. You have to find the right page at developer.anthology.com.

2. When I attempt to register I presume I should select the 'My Integration supports LTI 1.3' but then I get requests for a bunch of information I can't find reference to in the docs.

Login initiation URL

Tool Redirect URL(s)

Tool JWKS URL

The default SIgning Algorithm is RS256

Are there any custom parameters to set?

Any help would be appreciated

Good day

I believe it is a 3 part process

a) https://docs.numbas.org.uk/lti/en/latest/admin/consumers/lti_13.html#blackboard

b) https://developer.anthology.com

c) In your Blackboard Instance you then : Register LTI 1.3/Advantage Tool where you add the ClientID you created in b:

OK, it looks like the broken link mislead me. 

Connect to Blackboard

Blackboard expects most LTI tools to run on a single domain, which serves every institution using it.

Because each institution runs their own instance of the Numbas LTI tool, each instance must be registered separately with Anthology.

1. Register this server as an application with Anthology.

2. Create a dynamic registration token.

   In the Anthology Developer portal, use Dynamic Registration with the token URL you created, to initiate tool registration.

   Record the Application ID and the Application Key that were created.

I was under the impression that I had to first register with anthology (step 1), then do the next steps as the page linked was 404ing.

Step 2 I then read as a title  and a single step on anthology where it is in fact multiple steps. a) create a dynamic registration token (on th elocal LTI server) and then step 2b is on the anthology site. 

The application key is not obvious, you have to select the 'manage keys' option fromt eh trhee dots next to the application registration.

So far so good - need to wait on my IT colleagues for the next step.

Best wishes
