Finding Your Proctorio LTI Integration and Key

Overview

This guide explains how to locate Proctorio LTI 1.1 integrations in Canvas, Moodle, D2L Brightspace, and Blackboard Learn, including where they are installed, their integration keys, and which courses use them. LTI 1.1 integrations require a key and secret and may be installed at the institution, sub-account, or course level.

In LMS settings, Proctorio may appear as Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor. Within courses, the tool is always labeled Secure Exam Proctor. Administrator permissions are typically required, and menu names may vary by LMS version.

An integration key (also called a consumer key or OAuth consumer key) uniquely identifies the connection between an LMS and Proctorio. Proctorio Support may request this key when troubleshooting integration or configuration issues.

Pro Tip: A single institution may have multiple Proctorio integrations, each with its own unique key. Adding a clear description to each one (for example, "Proctorio integration for Main Campus") makes them easier to tell apart and helps you find the key for the integration you need. Update the description only, and do not rename the tool, as this can affect how it performs.

Canvas

Locating Your Integration(s)

  1. Click Admin in the Global Navigation and select your account. Repeat for each sub-account.

  2. Click Settings and select the Apps tab.

  3. Click View App Configurations.

  4. Locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool(s) in the list. If more than one is listed, note the description of each.

Note: If you need the LTI tool ID (for example, to use automation or the API), you can find it in the URL when you launch the tool in a course. Open a course that uses the integration and click the Secure Exam Proctor tool link. The tool ID is the number after /external_tools/ in your browser's address bar. For example, the URL https://yourschool.instructure.com/courses/3892/external_tools/469 has the tool ID 469.

Viewing Your Integration Key

  1. Follow the steps above to open View App Configurations.

  2. Locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool in the list.

  3. Click the dropdown menu (gear icon) and select Edit.

  4. The Consumer Key is displayed in the configuration panel.

Viewing Course Placements

Built-in tool: Root account administrators with the LTI Registrations (manage) and Developer Keys (manage) permissions can use the Monitor tab. It only covers the most commonly used LTI apps, so Proctorio may not be listed.

  1. Click Admin in the Global Navigation and select your account.

  2. In Account Navigation, click Apps, then select the Monitor tab.

  3. Review the list of installed apps, along with total launches, unique users, sub-accounts, and courses.

  4. Use the filters (app name, sub-account, course, role, time period, and date range) and click Apply.

  5. To save a copy of the data, click Export as CSV.

To check a single course:

  1. Open the course and click Settings.

  2. Select the Apps tab and click View App Configurations.

  3. Locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool in the list. A lock icon means the tool was installed by your institution and cannot be edited in the course.

Note: If you are unsure which integration is enabled in the course, you can view the integration key in the course and match it to the correct integration. See Matching a Course to an Integration.

Using the API: To check many accounts and courses without going one by one, use the External Tools API (for example, GET /api/v1/courses/:course_id/external_tools?include_parents=true). See the Canvas documentation below for details. To speed this up, generate an API access token with limited, read-only permissions and provide it to an AI assistant or script, which can pull the tool lists across your accounts and courses for you. Revoke the token when you are finished.

Moodle

Locating Your Integration(s)

  1. Navigate to Site Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > External tool > Manage tools.

  2. Locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool(s) in the list. To see the tools in a table, open Manage preconfigured tools.

  3. Check whether the tool is restricted to specific course categories in its configuration.

Note: If you need the LTI tool ID (for example, to use automation or the API), you can find it in the URL when you edit the tool. Click the edit icon (pencil icon) next to the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool and look at your browser's address bar. The tool ID is the number after id=. For example, the URL https://yourmoodle.edu/mod/lti/typessettings.php?action=update&id=12 has the tool ID 12.

Viewing Your Integration Key

  1. Follow the steps above to open Manage tools.

  2. Locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool in the list.

  3. Click the edit icon (pencil icon).

  4. The Consumer Key is displayed in the configuration details popup.

Viewing Course Placements

Built-in tool: Moodle does not provide a site-wide report of where a tool is used. You can check one course at a time.

To check a single course:

  1. Open the course and click More > LTI External tools.

  2. Locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool in the table. The Usage count column shows how many times the tool is used in that course. A lock icon means the administrator configured the tool for the whole site.

Note: If you are unsure which integration is enabled in the course, you can view the integration key in the course and match it to the correct integration. See Matching a Course to an Integration.

Other options: The community-maintained LTI Usage plugin reports LTI activities across the whole site. It is not part of Moodle core and can also delete activities, so review it before installing.

Using the API: Moodle's web services include mod_lti_get_ltis_by_courses, which returns the external tool activities for the courses you specify. See the Moodle documentation below for details. To speed this up, create a web service token with limited permissions and provide it to an AI assistant or script, which can pull the external tool activities across your courses for you. Revoke the token when you are finished.

D2L Brightspace

Locating Your Integration(s)

  1. Log in to Brightspace as a Super Administrator.

  2. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner to access Admin Tools.

  3. Under Organization Related, click External Learning Tools.

  4. Click Manage Tool Providers (Legacy) and locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool provider(s) in the list.

  5. Review the org units each provider is available to.

  6. Click the Manage External Learning Tool Links tab to see the individual links.

Note: If you need the LTI tool ID (for example, to use automation or the API), use the link ID of the tool. On the Manage External Learning Tool Links (or Manage Tool Links (Legacy)) tab, hover over the Secure Exam Proctor link to see its ID, or open the link in a new browser tab and look at the full URL. The link ID is the number after linkId=. For example, the URL https://yourschool.brightspace.com/d2l/lms/lti/manage/link_newEdit.d2l?linkId=112&ou=6606 has the link ID 112.

Viewing Your Integration Key

  1. Follow the steps above to open Manage Tool Providers.

  2. Locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool provider in the list and click to view or edit.

  3. The Key field contains your integration key.

Viewing Course Placements

Built-in tool: Brightspace does not provide a report of the courses where a tool is used. The provider's org unit availability shows where it can be used, and each course lists the links it contains.

To check a single course:

  1. Open the course and click Course Admin.

  2. Click External Learning Tools.

  3. Review the tool links listed for the course and locate the Secure Exam Proctor link.

Note: If you are unsure which integration is enabled in the course, you can view the integration key in the course and match it to the correct integration. See Matching a Course to an Integration.

Using the API: To check many courses without going one by one, use the Valence API, which can list the LTI links registered for an org unit (GET /d2l/api/le/(version)/lti/link/(orgUnitId)/). See the D2L documentation below for details. To speed this up, ask your Brightspace administrator to register an API application and issue a token with limited, read-only permissions, then provide it to an AI assistant or script, which can pull the links across your courses for you. Revoke the token when you are finished.

Blackboard Learn

Locating Your Integration(s)

  1. Navigate to System Admin (Admin in Ultra), and under Integrations, select LTI Tool Providers.

  2. Locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool provider(s) in the list by provider domain. The list shows each tool's LTI version and status.

  3. Click the dropdown next to the provider and select Manage Placements to see where the tool appears in Learn.

Note: If you need the LTI tool ID (for example, to use automation or the API), use the placement ID, which you can find in the URL when you launch the tool in a course. Open a course that uses the integration and click the Secure Exam Proctor link. In your browser's address bar, find blti_placement_id, which appears as blti_placement_id%3D_427_1 in the URL. The placement ID is the value after it, in this example _427_1.

Viewing Your Integration Key

  1. Follow the steps above to open LTI Tool Providers.

  2. Locate the Proctorio or Secure Exam Proctor tool provider in the list.

  3. Click the dropdown next to the provider and select Edit.

  4. The Tool Provider Key is your integration key. If the provider is set to use a separate configuration for each link, the key is entered on each link instead.

Viewing Course Placements

Built-in tool: The LTI Tool Providers page includes a Usage Count column, and the provider dropdown includes a Usage Report option. Blackboard advises against relying on the usage count and points administrators to Illuminate reporting for more reliable LTI usage data, so check with your Blackboard administrator or Blackboard support.

To check a single course:

  1. Open the course and look for the Secure Exam Proctor link where its placement appears. In an Ultra course, a course tool appears in the Books & Tools menu. In an Original course, a course tool appears in the Course Management section, and a course content tool appears in the content area.

  2. If you cannot find it, ask your Blackboard administrator to confirm the placements under Manage Placements.

Note: If you are unsure which integration is enabled in the course, you can view the integration key in the course and match it to the correct integration. See Matching a Course to an Integration.

Using the API: To check many courses without going one by one, use the Blackboard REST API. Course contents (GET /learn/api/public/v1/courses/{courseId}/contents) include LTI links, which you can match to Proctorio. See the Blackboard documentation below for details. To speed this up, have your administrator enable a REST application and generate a token with limited, read-only permissions, then provide it to an AI assistant or script, which can pull the LTI links across your courses for you. Revoke the token when you are finished.

Matching a Course to an Integration

When more than one Proctorio integration is installed, use the integration key to find out which integration a specific course is using. This works the same way in every LMS.

  1. Collect the key for each integration using Viewing Your Integration Key in your LMS section above.

  2. Find the key the course is using with the browser developer tools steps below.

  3. Match the two.

Browser Developer Tools

This method can be used by any Proctorio user and does not require administrator access.

Instructions

  1. Disable or remove the Proctorio extension. The extension must be disabled to access the LTI launch page directly.

  2. Open a Proctorio-enabled course in your LMS.

  3. Click the Secure Exam Proctor LTI tool link in the course.

  4. Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect to open Developer Tools.

  5. Select the Network tab at the top of the Developer Tools panel; Refresh the page if no items are listed.

  6. Select the Launch item from the network request list.

  7. Select the Payload tab.

  8. Locate the oauth_consumer_key value. This is your integration key.

Matching the Key to an Integration

Compare the oauth_consumer_key value from the launch to the keys you collected for each integration. The key that matches identifies the integration the course is using.

Pro Tip: Browser developer tools check one course at a time. To check many courses, an administrator can use the API options in the Viewing Course Placements section for their LMS. Adding a clear description to each integration, as described in the Overview, makes this much easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have more than one integration with the same name?

The name alone cannot tell the integrations apart, but each integration has its own unique key.

  1. Collect the key for each integration using Viewing Your Integration Key in your LMS section (Canvas, Moodle, D2L Brightspace, Blackboard Learn).

  2. Compare other details that may differ, such as the launch URL and the sub-accounts, org units, or course categories the integration is available to.

  3. Add a clear description to each integration (for example, "Proctorio integration for Main Campus") so they are easy to tell apart later. Update the description only, and do not rename the tool, as this can affect how it performs.

To find out which of the integrations a specific course uses, see Matching a Course to an Integration.

What if I don't know which integration is being used on a course?

Launch the Secure Exam Proctor link in the course and check the integration key it sends, then match it to the keys you collected for each integration. The steps are in Matching a Course to an Integration. This works for any user and does not require administrator access.
