smallPART old Moodle LTI - EGroupware/egroupware GitHub Wiki

Using smallPART with Moodle < 3.10 (no dynamic registration)

Most of the following steps require a Moodle administrator!

  • with Moodle < 3.10 you have to configure smallPART manually

  • you need to replace boulder.egroupware.org with your own EGroupware Domain and for EGroupware Cloud hosting use egw instead of egroupware for the path

For the public key Moodle < 3.9 unfortunately does not support a JWK URL (JSON Web Key), so you have to get it from your server under /var/lib/egroupware/default/files/openid/public.key. If you have no access to the server you can use the JWK URL (https://boulder.egroupware.org/egroupware/openid/endpoint.php/jwks) to fetch the key and use a service to convert it (use only the key object {"alg": "RS256", "kty": "RSA", ...}, not the whole array!)

  • then display the configuration details in Moodle

  • and add them in EGroupware under Administration > Application > SmallPART > LTI Configuration

Please note: LTI creates accounts in EGroupware, unless your Moodle authenticates via OpenID Connect against EGroupware. Use Global Unique Identifier (lis_person_sourceid) in that case. If your Moodle has it's own users, use Moodle Username for the same username in EGroupware as in Moodle. All new users are added to EGroupware's Default Group and LTI staff and admins to the Teachers group.

  • now you're ready to add a SmallPART course and/or video to a Moodle course
