This document illustrates configuring your Canvas to route your college/district IdP through the SSO proxy. To do that, the following values will need to be updated in order to implement this change:
- IdP entityID: this will change to the proxy entityID
- Log On URL: this will change to a URL that goes to the proxy SSO endpoint, and with a ?source= query argument identifying the college/district IdP to route to
- Certificate fingerprint: this will become the certificate fingerprint of the proxy signing certificate
- Note: the Logout URL, if you want the user logged out of your IdP after logging out of Canvas, will be same as below. The proxy will not keep a session, so you will need to configure Canvas to send the user to your IdP's Logout endpoint.
Set Up Requires Canvas Administrative Privileges
Each college using Canvas has one or two people who have been established as the "Canvas Administrators" for that college. The person(s) in that role has access to their Canvas site with "administrative privileges", including being able to configure how authentication is done for their Canvas site. This individual will need to make the changes outlined in this document.
Canvas recommends that you first implement the changes on your Test/Beta site and ensure it is working correctly there prior to configuring it on your Production site. Please be aware that every few weeks, Instructure replaces your Test/Beta site config with your Production config, so you might have to repeat configuring the below multiple times if it takes longer to complete your verification testing.
