This information is emailed to you and includes the following items:

For configuration through Blackboard Partner Cloud, only the registration key is needed.

Registration Key

Example: NcvGx2R+ExAmpl3+kEY+gMTQI5eQxMWr

Consumer Key

Shared Secret

Configuration URL

LTI Advantage Registration Tool URL

If your LMS supports dynamic LTI Advantage registration, use this URL to deploy the Cengage integration to your site.

Otherwise, you will need to perform a manual registration using the configuration parameters located under Manual Registration.

Login Initiation URI

A web address.

Sometimes called OIDC third party initiation/initiating launch URL. Spark uses this to initiate the LTI launch.

Example: https://gateway.cengage.com/ws/mlapi/ltioidc/startlaunch?name=sr-1100851

OAuth redirect URIs

https://gateway.cengage.com/ws/mlapi/ltioidc/authorizedl
https://gateway.cengage.com/ws/mlapi/ltioidc/authorize

Two web addresses your LMS authorizes to send launch data. Both are needed for the integration to function. In your LMS, these might be entered in separate fields or in a single field delimited with commas or spaces.

Cengage Public Keyset (JWKS) URI

Moodle 3.9 and later:

https://gateway.cengage.com/.well-known/jwks.json

Where Cengage exposes public keys in the JSON Web Keyset format. Your LMS uses this to validate Spark requests to add content and push grades.

Deep Linking URI

https://gateway.cengage.com/ws/mlapi/lti/contentItems/products

Sometimes called Content Item URL. The URI for deep linking requests. As with any LTI 1.3 link, this is not called directly by your LMS, but rather is included as the target_link_uri parameter in the initiation request and in the id_token.

Public Key

Moodle 3.8 and earlier: Open the link in the email to get your public key.

Example: NcvGx2R+ExAmpl3+kEY+gMTQI5eQxMWr
