Django LTI login

A simple, yet powerful, LTI login application for Django. This app makes it easy to use learning management system (LMS) with LTI 1.0 interface to authenticate users to external services.

Run pip install git+https://github.com/apluslms/django-lti-login.git@master#egg=django-lti-login.

Add django_lti_login to settings.INSTALLED_APPS.

Usage

After you have configured your project with settings and lti tokens, then you can point your LMS to the lti_login url (see example app). Remember those lti tokens (a key and a secret). App provides django management commands to handle those tokens.
