Hi- we also set up Azure SAML authentication for students and Staff. This is authentication 1. We have self-registration set up for parents - which is authentication number 2. However, when the parents receive emails from Canvas and they click on the links they are being directed to the SSO login and not the canvas login page. This is causing issues for our parents.

Hi,

This is a late reply but we create users manually and have them use the special URL that forces the use of the Canvas login screen.

We then delete the users when we're done so we don't have any hanging out that aren't being used. It works very well for us.

Issues with Discussion Checkpoints
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic".
