If you use Instructure Canvas or Blackboard Ultra as your LMS, LockDown Browser now supports the use of multiple LMS domains. Many institutions use a "vanity URL" for students to access their system.

Note: For Bb Ultra, this is only available for "Ultra" courses, not "original view" courses.

For this to work, your designated Respondus admin needs to specify the necessary domains in the "Additional Subdomains" field of the Respondus server profile. 



Domains should be separated by a comma, and cannot be the same root domain that is already being used in the Respondus server profile, nor any SSO / authentication servers.

Example:  respondus.com,respondus.edu

To modify the Respondus server profile, log in to the Respondus Admin Area at:
https://campusportal.respondus.com/campus-portal/login.php

Once logged in, select "LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor" Control Panel, then click "modify settings" for the relevant profile.
 
This feature is only available for Instructure Canvas and Blackboard Ultra (Ultra courses only, not "original view" courses.)

Note: Instructors using Blackboard Ultra will first need to log in using the main (or Root URL) instead of the alternate “vanity” URLs. Then, access the LockDown Browser Dashboard tool and click the "allow" button. This authorizes that instructor account to use the tool.

Afterwards, you can log in to the Ultra environment via the vanity URL and access the LockDown Browser Dashboard tool. However, this authorization will need to be performed at regular intervals (usually every few months). Just follow the same steps documented above.

Note: For Bb Ultra, this is only available for "Ultra" courses, not "original view" courses.
