In the page https://openstax.org/details/books/calculus-volume-3?Instructor%20resources 
there is a section 

Canvas Course Cartridge

This course cartridge, created by the California Community Colleges' Online Education Initiative, integrates your OpenStax books and resources into the Canvas learning management system.

Go

After clicking on Go I reach to the page https://lor.instructure.com/login where 
(since I have no login with Facebook)  but Already have a Canvas login? I click 
Login, then a question pops up

Oops, I couldn't log you in automatically.

Which Canvas account would you like to use to log in to Instructure?

 I choose from the list canvas.instructure.com, where the following error message 
appears 

{"errors":[{"param":"server-error","msg":"There was an error"}]}

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Sandor,

I haven't tried integrating with openstax, but the https://lor.instructure.com/login link is trying to log you into Canvas Commons.  Normally, that authentication is passed through from Canvas, and I've seen similar error messages when  connecting to Commons when I haven't yet authenticated to Canvas.

Try logging into your regular Canvas server first, then see if you get the same error message from openstax.
