[Building Sakai] basic lti admin tool

[Yegeneswari Nagappan]

Hi ,

The config properties can be hidden by updating the values in basiclti/basiclti-portlet/src/webapp/WEB-INF/sakai/IMSPortlet.xml.
For example, the private key and secret can be hidden by doing this :

<configuration name="final.secret" value="true"/>
<configuration name="final.key" value="true"/>

If a config property is final, the tool tries to load the value from Server configuration or Sakai properties file.

Hope this helps! 

Thanks
Esh

Oh fantastic, one question so is there a way to hide the basic lti
config (private key, url, all the technical bits) from the instructor
or whoever is placing the tool via the site editor.  This is less of a
pressing requirement but just wondering.  Maybe there is a way to do
this already I'm just not aware of.
