iMIS integration: Prerequisites

TopClass uses the iMIS REST services to integrate, so the following information must be provided before the integration can begin:

• iMIS test environment: URL of the iMIS test server and test account credentials.
• iMIS version: Confirmation of the exact version of iMIS that TopClass LMS will integrate with.
• Single Sign-On (SSO) confirmation: Indicate whether SSO will be implemented.
• REST API endpoint URL: The base URL of the iMIS REST API endpoint (for example, https://imisserver.org/).
• Integration user credentials: Username and password for the iMIS account used for communication between iMIS and TopClass. This account must have remote access enabled and should not be configured as a SysAdmin account.

All required information must be provided before development of the integration can commence.

iMIS version

To locate the iMIS version number, do the following:

1. Go to Settings > About iMIS.
2. Make note of the Software version.

Single Sign-On (SSO) confirmation

If you plan to use SSO for the iMIS-TopClass integration, it must be properly configured. SSO configuration consists of the following:

1. Creating an SSO client application. Ensure the following values are set:

   • Client ID - TopClass

   • Refresh token lifetime (minutes) - 10

   • Login redirect URL - Enter in the following format: https://***/topclass/login.do

   👍

   Example

   https://mytopclasslearning.org/topclass/login.do

2. Adding it to an iMIS content page that contains the Single Sign-On content item with the Client Application.

REST API endpoint URL

The REST API endpoint URL is simply your iMIS public website URL. For example, https://example.imiscloud.com or https://example.org. Whatever you use to access your public iMIS RiSE site, that is your endpoint URL.

Integration user credentials

If you need a dedicated user account to access the API, contact ASI Technical Support for additional information and next steps. There may be a cost associated with this licensed account.

Once you have the dedicated user account defined, ensure the account has the RemoteService role:

1. Go to Community > Security > Users.
2. Search for the account using the provided search filters.
3. Select the account Username.
4. Under User information, locate the Roles section, then select Add.
5. Enable the RemoteService role.
6. Click OK.
7. Click Save. The changes may take a few minutes to take effect.

Once that account is properly configured, send the username and password to TopClass.
