domain: imsglobal.org · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Receive the OIDC login initiation POST from the platform containing iss, login_hint, target_link_uri, and optionally lti_message_hint
  2. Look up your registered platform record using the iss value to retrieve the platform's authorization endpoint
  3. Generate a cryptographically random state value and a cryptographically random nonce, then store both server-side keyed to the current session
  4. Build the OIDC authentication request URL with response_type=id_token, response_mode=form_post, scope=openid, and the stored nonce and state
  5. Redirect the user agent to the platform's authorization endpoint with the constructed URL
  6. On callback, verify the returned state matches the stored value before proceeding to id_token validation
