      feat: enable sharing username, email in LTI 1.3 launches and support blocking PII transmission · a7fcf621
      michaelroytman authored
      This commit enables sharing username and email in LTI 1.3 basic launches.
      
      This commit adds preferred_username and email as attributes of the Lti1p3LaunchData. The application or context that instantiates Lti1p3LaunchData is responsible for ensuring that username and email can be sent via an LTI 1.3 launch and supplying these data, if appropriate.
      
      This commit sends username and email as part of an LTI 1.3 basic launch when the XBlock fields ask_to_send_username and ask_to_send_email are set to True, respectively.
      
      Code was also added to block the transmission of username and email in both LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 launches if the value of the lti_access_to_learners_editable method of the LTI configuration service (i.e. the value of the CourseAllowPIISharingInLTIFlag ConfigurationModel) returns False, as originally intended and documented in the "Unified Flag for Enabling Sharing of PII in LTI
      " decision record. However, the LTI configuration service is not currently available or defined in all runtime contexts, so this behavior only works when editing the XBlock in Studio (i.e. the studio_view). It does not work from the XBlock preview in Studio (i.e. the author_view) or from the LMS (i.e. the student_view).
      
      The impact of this is that the ask_to_send_username and ask_to_send_email fields will be hidden in LTI XBlocks in courses for which an instance of the CourseAllowPIISharingInLTIFlag ConfigurationModel does not exist or for which an existing instance of the CourseAllowPIISharingInLTIFlag ConfigurationModel is disabled. If there already exists an instance of the CourseAllowPIISharingInLTIFlag ConfigurationModel for a course, then disabling the flag will only hide the ask_to_send_username and ask_to_send_email in the LTI XBlock edit menu. It will not prevent the transmission of username or email via the launch in Studio preview or via the launch in the LMS. If a course has already set ask_to_send_username or ask_to_send_email to True in the XBlock edit menu, that information will continue to be sent via the LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 launch.
      
      We plan to fix this bug in the future.

      fix: LTI 1.1 form URL is relative URL and LTI 1.3 form URL is expected to be absolute · e1e0f131
      michaelroytman authored
      This commit fixes a bug in the way that the the form_url is used in the Javascript.
      
      For LTI modal launches in the courseware microfrontend (MFE), the Javascript prepends the value of window.location.origin to the form_url when sending a message via postMessage to window.parent.
      
      This is because the form_url included in the template by the XBlock handler does not include a port and hostname for LTI 1.1 launches.
      
      In LTI 1.3, however, the form_url should include the port and hostname, because it's user input (e.g. fields on the XBlock). Because of this, LTI 1.3 modal launches do not work, because the Javascript appends a port and hostname to a URL that already has a port and hostname, resulting in something like "http://localhost:18000http//localhost..."
      
      This commit changes the way that the launch URL is calculated by the Javascript. The version of LTI being used is included in the template by the Python code, which is read by the Javascript. The Javascript then adds the port and hostname for LTI 1.1 form URLs but not for LTI 1.1 form URLs.

      feat: add course flag to send external_user_id as user_id in LTI 1.1 XBlock launches · cff7744e
      michaelroytman authored
      This commit introduces a new CourseWaffleFlag lti_consumer.enable_external_user_id_1p1_launches. When this flag is enabled for a course, LTI 1.1 XBlock launches in that course will send the user's external_user_id as the user_id attribute of the launch. external_user_id is the user's external user ID as defined, created, and stored by the external_user_ids Djangoapp in the edx-platform. When this waffle is not enabled for a course - the default case - LTI 1.1 XBlock launches in that course will continue to send the user's anonymous_user_id as the user_id attribute of the launch, as before.
      
      This provides an opt-in opportunity for courses to send a consistent, static, and opaque user identifier in an LTI 1.1 XBlock launch. This may be necessary for integration with LTI tools that require such an identifier.
      
      Please be aware that toggling this flag in a running course carries the risk of breaking the LTI integrations in the course. This flag should also only be enabled for new courses in which no LTI attempts have been made.

      feat: adds support for LTI 1.3 Proctoring Service specification in-browser proctoring launch. · 6288b2a0
      michaelroytman authored
        * Adds an Lti1p3ProctoringLaunchData data class. It should be included as an attribute of the Lti1p3LaunchData
          data class to provide necessary proctoring data for a proctoring launch.
        * Adds an LtiProctoringConsumer class. This class is used to generate LTI proctoring launch requests and to decode
          and validate the JWT send back by the Tool with the LtiStartAssessment message.
        * Adds an lti_1p3_proctoring_enabled BooleanField to the LtiConfiguration model. This field controls whether
          proctoring is enabled for a particular LTI integration.
        * Modifies the launch_gate_endpoint to support LtiStartProctoring and LtiEndAssessment LTI launch messages.
        * Adds an start_proctoring_assessment_endpoint to support LtiStartAssessment messages from the Tool.
        * Adds an LTI_1P3_PROCTORING_ASSESSMENT_STARTED signal. This signal is emitted when the LtiStartAssessment message is
          sent from the Tool to inform users of the library that the LtiStartAssessment message has been received.

      fix: remove general use of load_block_as_user · 5f964f1d
      Andy Shultz authored
      For the config model we do not need to go as far as binding the block
      to the user and already get enough data out of the modulestore to
      satisfy the storage on the xblock case. Add a new function to get that
      much xblock only.
      
      For the limited cases where we are using the block more directly as a
      block we maintain the old function.
      
      Also includes a fix to test_views that was closing the wrong level
      mock and leaving an open patch into other tests.

      feat: update lti API to pick config via launch data · a52eef76
      Andy Shultz authored
      Note that this uses config_id (the UUID) not config.id (the int)
      
      This required a way to get config_id if we only have the block.
      
      And it means that we are more likely to go through load_block_as_user
      because we have not created the config off the block even when calling
      from the block (since the block has to go through that config ID).
      
      A lot of tests had to be updated to have more complete configuration
      setup because config_id is now load bearing.

      feat: only use anonymous user if there is no other choice · c14aa1c4
      Andy Shultz authored
      Sometimes we need to load the block. Current code always rebinds the
      block to the anonymous user because we might not have a user.
      
      But in many cases we do have a user and may have already loaded and
      bound the block in question. Check for user and request and if the
      block is already bound and just use that block if possible or at least
      load the block with the user you actually have.

      feat!: decouple LTI 1.3 launch from LtiConsumerXBlock · f7b9d401
      michaelroytman authored
      Purpose
      -------
      
      The purpose of these changes is to decouple the LTI 1.3 launch from the LtiConsumerXBlock. It is in accordance with the ADR "0007 Decouple LTI 1.3 Launch from XBlock and edX Platform", which is currently under review. The pull request for the ADR is here: https://github.com/openedx/xblock-lti-consumer/pull/281.
      
      The general premise of these changes is to shift the responsibility of defining key launch claims to users of the library. Such claims include user ID, user role, resource link ID, etc. Prior to this change, this context was defined directly in the launch view by referencing XBlock fields and functions, thereby tying the LTI 1.3 launch to the XBlock. By shifting the responsibility out of the view, we will be able to genericize the launch and make it functional in more contexts than just the XBlock and the XBlock runtime.
      
      In short, the key launch claims are encoded in an instance of a data class Lti1p3LaunchData. Users of the library will instantiate this class with necessary launch data to it and pass the instance to various methods of the Python API to communicate the data to the library. Please see the aforementioned ADR for more details about this decoupling strategy.
      
      Note that the majority of these changes affect only the basic LTI 1.3 launch. There have largely been no changes to LTI 1.3 Advantage Services. The one exception is the Deep Linking content launch endpoint. This is because this launch is implemented in the basic LTI 1.3 launch, and it was necessary to make the same changes to the deep linking content launch to ensure that it works properly. Otherwise, LTI 1.3 Advantage Services are out of scope of these changes.
      
      Change Summary for Developers
      -----------------------------
      
      Below is a summary of changes contained in this pull request.
      
      * added an Lti1p3LaunchData data class
      * added caching for Lti1p3LaunchData to limit data sent in request query or form parameters
      * BREAKING CHANGE: modified Python API methods to take Lti1p3LaunchData as a required argument
      ** get_lti_1p3_launch_info
      ** get_lti_1p3_launch_start_url
      ** get_lti_1p3_content_url
      * replaced references to LtiConsumerXBlock.location with Lti1p3LaunchData.config_id
      * removed definition of key LTI 1.3 claims from the launch_gate_endpoint and instantiated Lti1p3LaunchData from within the LtiConsumerXBlock instead
      * added a required launch_data_key request query parameter to the deep_linking_content_endpoint and refactored associated templates and template tags to pass this parameter in the request to the view
      
      Change Summary for Course Staff and Instructors
      -----------------------------------------------
      
      The only changes relevant for course staff and instructors is that the access token and keyset URLs displayed in Studio have changed in format.
      
      The old format was:
      
      Access Token URL: https://courses.edx.org/api/lti_consumer/v1/token/block-v1:edX+999+2022Q3+type@lti_consumer+block@714c10a5e4df452da9d058788acb56be
      Keyset URL: https://courses.edx.org/api/lti_consumer/v1/public_keysets/block-v1:edX+999+2022Q3+type@lti_consumer+block@714c10a5e4df452da9d058788acb56be
      
      The new format is:
      
      Access Token URL: https://courses.edx.org/api/lti_consumer/v1/token/c3f6af60-dbf2-4f85-8974-4ff870068d43
      Keyset URL: https://courses.edx.org/api/lti_consumer/v1/public_keysets/c3f6af60-dbf2-4f85-8974-4ff870068d43
      
      The difference is in the slug at the end of the URL. In the old format, the slug was the UsageKey of the XBlock associated with the LTI integration. In the new format, the slug is the config_id of the LtiConfiguration associated with the LTI integration. This is an iterative step toward decoupling the access_token_endpoint and the public_keyset_endpoint views from the XBlock location field. The XBlock location field appears as the usage_key parameter to both views. We cannot simply remove the usage_key parameter from the views, because existing LTI 1.3 integrations may have been created using the old format, and we need to maintain backwards compatibility. This change, however, prevents new integrations from being created that are coupled to the XBlock. In the future, we may address integrations that use the old format to fully decouple the XBlock from the views.

      feat: handle 500 errors that occur when user is unauthenticated during LTI 1.1 launch · e52699f3
      michaelroytman authored
      In the LTI 1.1 launch handler, we set the user context, including the user_id. We do this by calling to the LMS's DjangoXBlockUserService to get information about the user. Sometimes, the user is unauthenticated. Sometimes, this is because the user is a web crawler. Other times, the user is a real user, but we do not know why the user is unauthenticated. We have some theories, but we have been unable to confirm them. Regardless, we should not surface a 500 error to the user.
      
      This commit adds handling for the LtiError that is raised when a user is unauthenticated during an LTI 1.1 launch. It catches the LtiError and renders an error page. The error page that was used for LTI 1.3 launches, formerly named "lti_1p3_launch_error.html", has been renamed to "lti_launch_error.html" to reflect the fact that it is used for both LTI 1.1 and 1.3 launches. It was modified to remove the reference to the version of LTI used by the XBlock; these details are unnecessary for a learner, and removing them allows us to reuse a single template for both LTI versions.

      fix: hidden lti_version and 1.3 fields in edit view and incorrect menu behavior in Javascript · 34003401
      michaelroytman authored
      This commit fixes three bugs.
      
      1. The first bug is that the lti_version field is inappropriately hidden in the Studio author view edit menu when the selected config_type is database.
      
      2. The second bug is that the editable_fields property of the LtiConsumerXBlock is inappropriately excluding LTI 1.3 fields when the config_type is database. The editable_fields property should include LTI 1.3 fields even when the config_type is database, because the Javascript defined in xblock_studio_view.js may want to show these fields if the user selects a different config_type in the menu. We want to support a dynamic edit menu, so these fields must be considered editable by the XBlock in order for the Javascript to be able to manipulate them.
      
      3. The third bug is in inconsistent rendering of the Studio author view edit menu. Depending on the order in which a user selects lti_version, config_type, or lti_1p3_tool_key_mode, different sets of fields are displayed, due to the overlapping sets of rules that govern what fields should be hidden or shown for a given field selection. This commit corrects this inconsistent rendering by first showing all fields and then gradually hiding fields depending on the sets of rules, for each change to the fields.

      feat: Add core LTI 1.3 and Advantage configuration to LTIConfiguration model · d5e98141
      michaelroytman authored
      This commit adds additional core LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage variables to the LTIConfiguration model. The additional core LTI 1.3 variables are lti_1p3_oidc_url, lti_1p3_launch_url, lti_1p3_tool_public_key, and lti_1p3_tool_keyset_url. The additional LTI Advantage variables are lti_advantage_enable_nrps, lti_advantage_deep_linking_enabled, lti_advantage_deep_linking_launch_url, and lti_advantage_ags_mode.
      
      This commit also adds a configuration type to the LtiConsumerXBlock to support the storage of these LTI variables on the LTIConfiguration model (i.e. the database) instead of the xBlock itself.
      
      Changes that allow the use of this configuration option are behind the lti_consumer.enable_database_config CourseWaffleFlag.
