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.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
