DRAFT: The following is an example using the configuration values that were filled in for CCSF's integration with Canvas. And this This document currently illustrates configuring your Canvas site to go straight to your college/district IdP. We'll be updating this document to instead illustrate going to The updates below will route your college/district IdP through the CCC IdP Proxy instead. The following values will need to be updated in order to implement this change:

• IdP entityID:  this will change to the Proxy IdP entityID
• Log On URL: this will change to a URL that goes to the IdP Proxy SSO endpoint, and with a ?source= query argument identifying the college/district IdP to then go route to
• Certificate fingerprint: this will become the certificate fingerprint of the IdP 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 IdP Proxy will not keep a session, so you just have Canvas will need to configure Canvas to send the user to your IdP's Logout endpoint.

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.

* You can leave the rest of the fields empty or populated with the default value. The exception is the Position field which applies if you are going to allow multiple ways of logging in, which won't be available once you convert.
