lti13

This is a minimal implementation of LTI 1.3 authentication for Haskell. It supports performing LTI launches and getting most of the interesting fields of the resource link request.

Development setup

Conventions: lines entered in a regular shell start with $. Lines that go in a nix-shell shell start with [nix-shell]$.

This project provides Nix files for your convenience in creating a working development environment. If you would like to install Nix, there is a guide on the official documentation.

We provide haskell-language-server in our nix-shells.

$ nix-shell
# now you can run commands such as:
[nix-shell]$ cabal new-build all
[nix-shell]$ cabal repl
[nix-shell]$ hoogle server

If the LTI-RI gets broken again

See ./referencetool for details on how to set it up again.

TODOs

  • We are not compliant with LTI 1.3 § 5.1.1.5, which requires redirecting failing authentications to the provider. Client code can probably make this happen, but we just throw an exception.
  • We should probably catch exceptions in our Yesod provider before they force client code to 500. Maybe translate them to 401s.
  • We are not checking the target_link_uri is the same in initiate as in the token. The spec requires this check but it is not used during the auth process, and the value from initiate is untrusted and not given to client code anyway, so this is not a big problem.
  • We should probably provide a method to decode the JWK blob our users are expected to store and/or support calling back to the Provider API ourselves.
