@Renee_Carney you (as in "Instructure") might not be willing to share these "integration" information in the forum and hide them behind a convenient paywall (partners!), but other users of the forum might! I'm just a freelancer trying to make a client happy and I've 90% of the work done and not sure of having the budget to pay for a partner account (which I'm not) just to solve this issue; Curiously, only deep linking doesn't seem to be working with Canvas (and "only" with Canvas, while other LMS implementing LTI 1.3 work perfectly). I Googled about this specific topic and I actually found a post in your forum discussing this... but it was conveniently archived... Making knowledge of how to integrate with your platform freely available to the development community would only be a winning strategy to increase adoption of your product.

What a TERRIBLE idea!! I'm looking on how to integrate my App with Canvas via LTI 1.3. In Canvas, if I try to add an "External App" in my course settings I get asked for a "Consumer key" and "Secret" (that to me looks like an OLD LTI way to do things) but no help/information is provided; and the only Google hit I can find leads me to this "Now Archived" page I hope you understand how a glorious facepalm this is. You're deliberately obfuscating information and making your platform the worst possible experience for third party integrators.. way to go for promoting your products

I'm in the same situation as the original poster. I'm just trying to figure out how to integrate our Web application as an LTI tool with a Canvas LMS platform. The first thing I noticed is that when I try to create a new "App" to integrate with (aka, my webapp) within Canvas I'm asked to provide a "Consumer key" and "Shared secret". It's by no mean related to LTI 1.1 since I'm using the current version of Canvas and it doesn't even ask me which type of LTI integration I want to support (so I guess/hope it's going to use 1.3 by default). Also, is the "shared secret" the Tool public key? More in general: is there a comprehensive guide anywhere that helps developers to understand how to integrate their app with Canvas using LTI?
