The following is an example using the configuration values that were filled in for CCSF's integration with Canvas. This document illustrates configuring your Canvas site to go straight to your college/district IdP. 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:
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.
This document tells you how to navigate to the page that has the SAML config options on it:
https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-4284
Step 1- Click on "Authentication" in the left-hand pane of this screen:
Then click on SAML in the right-hand side of the subsequent screen:
That will bring you to the main "SAML configuration form". The following information should be placed in the fields:
* Login attribute: eduPersonPrincipalName
Or eduPersonPrincipalName (domain stripped) if you don't include the @campus.edu on the identifier you send to Canvas in the provisioning feed.
Testing should occur on the Test/Beta site that has been established for your college. An example of a test url is: https://ccsf.test.instructure.com/login/saml You will need to replace the correct values associated to your college test site in order to successfully test the changes.
