Concourse, the syllabus management system by Intellidemia, allows for integration through the Learning Tools interoperability (LTI) standard. However there are scenarios where one might want to make the tool accessible through a portal that does not support LTI.
Overview
To handle this situation an adapter should be designed to accept an SSO request, verify it, map a user ID to lis_person_sourcedid as Concourse expects, and generate an LTI launch.
Step 1
Create a new adapter and go to the builder. Change the inbound request handler to Auto, which will accept either GET or POST requests.
Step 2
Add a link to your portal that automatically generates a new request that follows the Apidapter Authenticated Messaging specification with every click. Make sure the user's ID is included in a custom parameter like username.
Step 3
Add a Verify Apidapter SSO component to your adapter. Then see that your portal is creating requests appropriately by checking the adapter log after testing the link.
Step 4
Start configuring the other half of the integration, which begins with changing the outbound response handler to LTI. Enter a key, secret, and the URL for your Concourse installation. Then setup these same credentials as an LTI consumer in Concourse.
Step 5
Finally add a copy component to map the user ID you selected in step 2 (e.g. username) to lis_person_sourcedid.
Don't forget to take the adapter out of debug mode once you are ready to start utilizing the integration you implemented.
