Prerequisites for Blackboard integration through LTI

The prerequisited for Blackboard integration through LTI are as follows:

• (Mandatory) The BlackBoard domain should be accessible via HTTPS so it must have a valid SSL certificate.

• (Recommended) The Blackboard cookies should have the following attributes: SameSite=None and Secure=True. This is required for seamless user authentication.

• (Optional) Your BlackBoard LMS installation can be running on your organization’s server. Where it’s hosted is important for how student experience will look like:

  • On-premise BlackBoard : can be embedded in iframe, so examinees will be able to take proctored exams on desktop using Google Chrome (no Constructor Secure browser installation required).
  • Cloud-based BlackBoard: can’t be embedded in iframe so examinees will have to take tests in Constructor Chromium-based Secure Browser.

You need to have an admin account in BlackBoard to set up the integration.
