Canvas is a Learning Management System

To add Single Sign On for a Canvas service you need to upload the XML file to the Cloudwork dashboard

Getting 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.

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

  • IdP Metadata URL - The Entity ID of the metadata, this is found in the Cloudwork Dashboard, Go to Single Sign on>Identity Provider>Metadata Details>Entity ID.
  • IdP Entity ID - Also the Entity ID of the metadata, this is found in the Cloudwork Dashboard, Go to Single Sign on>Identity Provider>Metadata Details>Entity ID.
  • Log On URL - This is the Sign On Endpoint, this is also found in the Cloudwork Dashboard, Go to Single Sign On>Identity Provider>Metadata Details>Sign On Endpoint.
  • Log Out URL - This is the Sign Out Endpoint which is also found in the Cloudwork Dashboard, Go to Single Sign On>Identity Provider>Metadata Details>Log Out Endpoint.
  • Certificate Fingerprint - The certificate can be downloaded from the Identity Provider details in the Cloudwork Dashboard.
  • Login Attribute - This should be: NameID
  • Identifier format - This should be: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
Example of Identity Provider



Uploading the XML file

Once you have the XML file go to the Cloudwork Dashboard and then go to Single Sign On>Add New Service>Upload an XML file.

This will lead to a page that looks like this:

  • Name - A friendly name to identify the service e.g. Canvas
  • Upload - Here is where you upload the XML file for Canvas

Testing

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. This part is done in Canvas.
