[Building Sakai] [sakai2-tcc] Sakai Session Management and Basic lti Related Doubts

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi,

For recent versions of Basic LTI, you do not need the web services parameter at all. You especially do not want that setting for production. See 
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/WEBSVCS/How+to+use+the+Sakai+Web+Services

For Basic LTI, think of shared keys and secrets. Replace my.school.edu.au with the key of the application that can access the Sakai Basic LTI provider. That application then shares the key and secret with Sakai. It identifies that application so that  Sakai knows what secret to use to verify the request.

Login/Logout: CAS is irrelevant to Basic LTI as it makes it's own request. But read this guide so you can see the settings:
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/~steve.swinsburg/CASifying+Sakai+with+CAS+3

Session management: That setting is to store the client hostname, see: 
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-6216

Caching: Sakai uses it's own cache.

Kernel: Are you running Sakai 2.7 or Sakai 2.8? Most fixes are backported. I wouldn't advise running a kernel built for Sakai 2.8 in Sakai 2.7 as that has not been QA'd.

Server settings: Yes, change those to be applicable to your settings. Some URLs are generated based on those settings so you need them to be correct.

cheers,
Steve
