  • Vendor URL. Typically, the default URL for netTrekker (https://school.nettrekker.com/) is used for authentication by IP only, which means patrons can access netTrekker on your network, but not from home. To enable single sign-on, append the URL used to access netTrekker (currently https://school.nettrekker.com/vendorAuth/lti and case sensitive) and then provide the Consumer Key and Shared Secret credentials supplied by Knovation for authentication.
  • Consumer Key. Only used with single sign-on; enter the consumer key credential provided you by Knovation.
  • Shared Secret. Only used with single sign-on; enter the cryptographic shared secret provided you by Knovation.

Please contact netTrekker at 1-855-KNOVATE to upgrade to the single sign-on solution, which embodies individual personalization and provides greater value for students and teachers.
