Enabling sharing of certificates on social media

mboisson · July 27, 2026, 9:04pm

Hi,

I am testing sharing of certificates on social medias. I managed to get the Facebook link to show in the preview of the certificate, but when I click on it, it yields an error (from Facebook). Is there something else to configure than what is given here ?

Any idea what may be going on ? This is what I had as config:

In addition, I can’t figure out how to get LinkedIn to use our actual company ID. It always either use the platform name, or the organisation name. Never the company ID.

I have this:

github.com/calculquebec/edx

hieradata-common/edx.yaml

dev


      
          openedx-lms-common-settings:
            - "AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS += ['social_core.backends.open_id_connect.OpenIdConnectAuth']"
            - "LTI_DEFAULT_JUPYTER_HUB_URL = 'https://jupyter.%{lookup('terraform.data.domain_name')}'"
            - "LTI_DEFAULT_JUPYTER_PASSPORT_ID = 'jupyterhub'"
            - "SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS['CUSTOM_COURSE_URLS'] = True"
              #    - "SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS['DASHBOARD_FACEBOOK'] = True"
            - "SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS['CERTIFICATE_FACEBOOK'] = True"
            - "SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS['CERTIFICATE_FACEBOOK_TEXT'] = 'Partager sur Facebook'"
            - "SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS['CERTIFICATE_LINKEDIN'] = True"
              #    - "SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS['CERTIFICATE_LINKEDIN_DEFAULTS_TO_COURSE_ORGANIZATION_NAME'] = True"
            - "SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS['LINKEDIN_COMPANY_ID'] = 5351297"
            - "LINKEDIN_COMPANY_ID = '5351297'"
          openedx-cms-common-settings:
            - "LTI_DEFAULT_JUPYTER_HUB_URL = 'https://jupyter.%{lookup('terraform.data.domain_name')}'"
            - "LTI_DEFAULT_JUPYTER_PASSPORT_ID = 'jupyterhub'"
          openedx-auth:
            - "'SOCIAL_AUTH_OIDC_OIDC_ENDPOINT': 'https://cilogon.org/'"
            - "'SOCIAL_AUTH_OIDC_KEY': 'cilogon:/client_id/4b76e902d5e4d192d630bcfc3823e88f'"
            - "'SOCIAL_AUTH_OIDC_SECRET': '%{lookup('oidc_secret')}'"
            - "'SOCIAL_AUTH_OAUTH_SECRETS': { 'oidc': '%{lookup('oidc_secret')}'}"

What am I missing ?

For the LinkedIn part, while digging through the code, I figured it had to be a Django setting…

Sure enough, I found it under

https://edx…/admin/student/linkedinaddtoprofileconfiguration/

This is SOOOO obscure… Why is there no actual setting for LINKEDIN_COMPANY_ID ?!
