Canvas is a Learning Management System

To add a Canvas service you need to upload the XML file to the Cloudwork dashboard


To get the XML file:

Metadata is at https://<<schoolcode>>.instructure.com/saml_meta_data and the certificate needs to be entered in as a fingerprint

Then some work needs to be done in Canvas before uploading the XML file to the dashboard.

Go to Admin -> Authentication On the dropdown on the right choose SAML. The settings are shown below

The definitions for both Entity ID and Sign On Endpoint can be found inIdentity Provider Details

  • Both the IdP Metadata URL and the IdP Entity ID is the Entity ID for the metadata
  • The Log On URL is the Sign On Endpoint

Then you can test the login before by going to https://<<schoolcode>>.instructure.com/login/saml Once you are ready to go just change the position to 1 and it will become the default authentication

Uploading the XML file

Once you have the XML file go to the Cloudwork Dashboard -> Features -> Single Sign -> Add New Service -> Upload an XML file.

This will lead to a page that looks like this:
