Using LMS Authentication
When you use PeopleSoft authentication, instructors can use self-service pages to link to their Learning Management System (LMS).
An LMS icon appears next to LMS classes on the Faculty Center - My Teaching Schedule page when a provider for authentication is identified or when an LMS URL is provided on the Schedule of Classes - LMS Data page.
Instructors can also access a list of LMS providers and select the appropriate provider link to directly access their home page in that LMS provider's website.

Instructors can access the My Schedule self-service page and click the LMS icon to access the appropriate external LMS site.
When an LMS provider is identified for authentication and the instructor clicks the LMS icon, the system authenticates the user and directly accesses the academic content for the specified class within the external LMS. With authentication, the instructor does not have to log in to the external site.
If instead of a provider an LMS URL is specified, no authentication takes place. The system accesses the specified URL, such as an instructor's website, where a log may be required.
If neither an LMS provider nor an LMS URL are assigned to the class, the LMS icon does not appear.
Instructors can use the Learning Management System self-service page and click the LMS provider link to access the appropriate external LMS site. The system performs the authentication and transfers them directly to their home page in that provider's website. Because instructors are not tied to an institution, all providers are displayed when the Display as Provider Link is selected on the LMS Provider setup page.
