Adding Moodle content to Docebo using Publish as LTI Tool (LTI 1.3) – Launch succeeds but published content won't open

Hi all,

I'm trying to integrate Docebo with a Moodle/Totara instance that is exposing content using Publish as LTI Tool (LTI Advantage / LTI 1.3) and wondered if anyone has successfully implemented this?

 

Environment

Docebo

  • LTI 1.3 Training Material

Moodle

  • Moodle 4.4 (test environment)
  • Publish as LTI Tool
  • LTI Advantage (1.3)

The eventual target is a Totara environment, but I'm using Moodle to understand the behaviour first.

 

Progress so far

After a lot of troubleshooting, we've successfully resolved:

  • Issuer mismatch errors
  • Redirect URI errors
  • OIDC login failures
  • Missing id_token launch errors

The current configuration successfully:

  • Registers the platform
  • Completes OIDC authentication
  • Generates and sends a valid JWT launch token
  • Provisions/authenticates users

The JWT launch contains standard LTI claims including:

  • Issuer
  • Audience
  • Deployment ID
  • Context
  • Roles
  • Resource Link ID

So from an authentication perspective, the launch appears healthy.

 

Current Issue

Moodle returns:

Invalid launch data. The custom claim field 'id' is required to launch an activity or resource over LTI Advantage.

Moodle also generates a custom property when content is published, for example:

id=82cf44d1-97f7-465b-9ba2-94884013fc89

Deep Linking Observation

If I point Docebo at Moodle's Deep Linking endpoint (launch_deeplink.php), authentication succeeds and Moodle presents a content selection screen.

This makes me wonder whether Moodle expects a Deep Linking workflow to establish the relationship between the published content and the consumer platform, but I'm not sure whether Docebo supports that workflow fully.

Questions

  1. Has anyone successfully launched Moodle or Totara "Publish as LTI Tool" content from Docebo?
  2. Does Docebo support custom launch claims/custom parameters for LTI 1.3?
  3. Does Docebo support the Deep Linking workflow required by Moodle/Totara published content?
  4. Is there a supported way to consume Moodle/Totara published content without manual entry of custom properties?

Any experience or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eoin

For completeness, I’ve added the steps I took to configure both sides in case anyone finds this useful:

 

On your Moodle site:

  • Go to: Site administration → Plugins → Authentication → Manage authentication
  • Look for: LTI
  • Make sure the eye icon is open (enabled).
  • Go to: Site administration → Plugins → Enrolments → Manage enrol plugins
  • Look for: Publish as LTI tool
  • Make sure this is enabled.
  • Go to: Site administration → Security → HTTP security
  • Enable: Allow frame embedding
  • Go to: Site administration → Plugins → Enrolments → Publish as LTI tool → Tool registration
  • Enter a platform name: Docebo LMS
  • Click Continue

 

Moodle will now show a list of URLs. Leave this page open

 

 

Switch to Docebo and:

  • From the Admin menu Open Training Materials.
    Note: you can also do this from a course if desired
  • Click New
  • Select LTI
  • Select Version 1.3
  • Enter a name: Moodle LTI Activity
  • Click Next
  • Enter the details from the Moodle site into Docebo as follows:
Docebo Field Moodle Field
Tool URL (iss) Tool URL
Public keyset URL JWKS URL
Initiate Login URL Initiate Login URL
Redirection URIs Tool URL
  • Click Create
  • Click Settings
  • Enable Share launcher's name with the tool
  • Enable Share launcher's email with the tool
  • Click Save Changes
  • Select the Content tab
  • Select Tool Settings
  • Click Add Redirection URI(S)
  • Add the Deep linking URL from Moodle as the 2nd Redirection URI in Docebo
  • Click Save Changes
  • Select Platform fields
  • Leave this page open.

 

Back to Moodle:

  • Go to Tool registration → Docebo LMS → Platform details → Edit platform details
  • Copy the Platform ID from Docebo into Moodle’s Platform ID (Issuer) field
    Note: If you are using a custom domain, change the docebosaas.com address to your custom domain
  • Copy the Client ID from Docebo into Moodle’s Client ID field
  • Copy the Public keyset URL from Docebo into Moodle’s Public keyset URL field
  • Copy the Access token URL from Docebo into Moodle’s Access token URL field
  • Copy the Authentication request URL from Docebo into Moodle’s Authentication request URL field
  • Click Save Changes
  • Go to: Deployments → Add a deployment
  • Copy the Deployment ID from Docebo into Moodle’s Deployment name field
  • Copy the Deployment ID from Docebo into Moodle’s Deployment ID field
  • Click Save Changes
  • Go to the course you want to expose to Docebo
  • Navigate to: Course → Participants → Enrolment methods
  • Choose: Add method → Publish as LTI tool
  • Set LTI Version to LTI Advantage
  • Set Tool to be published to either Course, or a specific activity in the course
  • Click Add method

 

Back to Docebo once more

  • Add the activity to a course
  • Preview as a learner
