Configuring a new Open edX content source

Setting up a OpenedX Content Source

• Go to LMS admin ({host}/admin).

Set up api access

In the LMS admin panel

• Go to Django OAuth Toolkit > Applications > Add application (/admin/oauth2_provider/application/add)
• Copy the client id / client secret that is generated. Fill in other fields:
  • User = choose an existing admin user (API is able to list all courses the user has access to)
  • Redirect uris: leave blank
  • Client type = Confidential
  • Authorization grant type = Client credentials
  • Name = choose a useful name (e.g. domain of the bridge host)
  • Skip authorization = leave unchecked
• Save
• Then go to the bridge admin.
• In bridge admin, go to API > OAuth Clients to create a new oauth client (/admin/api/oauthclient/add/), using the id and secret you previously generated in the content source admin, and provide a useful name (e.g. domain of the open edX instance).

Set up Content Source interface

• In LMS admin panel, go to Lti_Provider > Lti consumers > Add lti consumer.
• Provide a useful name (e.g. domain of bridge host) and copy the generated key and secret.
• In Bridge admin panel go to Bridge_Lti > Content Sources > Add Content Source
• Fill in key secret previously generated in contnet source, and provide other fields:
  • Name: useful name (e.g. content source domain)
  • Lti metadata - optional, but you can list LTI parameters here that you want the bridge to pass on the LTI parameters to the engine.
  • O auth client - select oauth client you just previously set up
  • Host url: full url of the host (https://example.co)
  • Is active: true (if you want content source to be visible in the admin)
