We’ve been using it experimentally for over a year now on campus at MIT, and it’s time to make it production-ready.
We have one challenge: our users already have accounts on the production system, and it’s really confusing for user with an account to find themselves logged into the same system, in a different account, over LTI. This seems like an unusual edge case for LTI, but I’m wondering if anyone has ever used it to authenticate to an existing account, instead of an anonymous one.
We serve contents from our Open edX instance to a few Moodle instances on campus through LTI.
To be honest, it has been described as experimental in the documentation for years. I wish the old documentation from previous releases was still accessible so that I could point out the “warning” in the LTI Provider section.
I have been asking for years what is the state of LTI Provider for Open edX. Especially since there was only development for an LTI Consumer XBlock through GitHub - openedx/xblock-lti-consumer
Thanks @sambapete. It’s reassuring to know that we’re not the only ones using this feature.
Do you know if any core contributors or contractors have experience with the code involved, who might be able to help answer our questions about authentication?
