Steps

  1. Expose a Dynamic Registration initiation endpoint (e.g., GET /lti/register) on your tool that accepts the openid_configuration and registration_token query parameters passed by the platform.
  2. Fetch the platform's OpenID configuration document from the openid_configuration URL using a server-side GET; extract jwks_uri, token_endpoint, and registration_endpoint from the document.
  3. Build a JSON registration request body conforming to the 1EdTech LTI Dynamic Registration spec, including client_name, redirect_uris, initiate_login_uri, jwks_uri (your tool's JWKS), scope, and https://purl.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-tool-configuration claims.
  4. POST the registration body to the registration_endpoint with Authorization: Bearer <registration_token>; the platform responds with a client_registration_response containing client_id and platform-specific deployment_id.
  5. Persist the client_id, deployment_id, platform issuer, JWKS URI, and token endpoint in your tool's platform configuration store; these values are required for every subsequent LTI 1.3 launch and service call.
  6. Display a confirmation page to the administrator and optionally trigger a test launch to verify the completed registration before closing the registration flow.
