We just deployed SSO for Canvas via Azure/Entra. It's working great; however, we do have one sticky problem. Users cannot authenticate through the Canvas app because it does note redirect them to our SSO gateway. What are we missing?
Yes, they're finding our school, but good news! Figured it out. Our CSM had to update our domain lookup to eliminate the /login/canvas in our URL. Very weird that this wasn't an issue for our desktops, just on the app. Thank you, both, for sharing your ideas! Hopefully this thread will help someone else down the road.
Hi @Beehive
Do you have the SSO set as the first/default authentication provider for Canvas? The Canvas app uses the default provider, and (as least as far as I can tell) there isn't an option to direct app users to any of the other providers if you have multiple providers configured.
Thank you for your reply. Our SAML SSO is set at position 1, Canvas at position 2 in our authentication settings. That should be enough, right?
How do I get logged into my school account I don't understand any of this
I am an instructor at MDC with a question (concern) regarding the "fudge points" option on the Canvas quizzes given that the term "fudge" has a connotation of dishonest manipulation or unethical assessing.

I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
