Step 2 — Enable Brightspace inside DrillBit LMS
With the tool registered in Brightspace and the Client ID in hand, the second step is done inside DrillBit. You’ll switch to the Admin role, enable the Brightspace tile, and paste in the credentials you copied from Brightspace so DrillBit can talk back to your Brightspace instance.
Before you start: complete Step 1 — Register the tool in Brightspace and have the Client ID and URLs from the Brightspace Registration Details dialog to hand.
1. Sign in and switch to the Admin role
- Open the DrillBit Extreme login page and sign in with your DrillBit account.
- Click the avatar / profile menu in the top-right corner.
- Choose Switch account › Switch to admin.
If you don’t see the option to switch to admin, your account doesn’t have admin privileges — contact DrillBit support to have your account upgraded before continuing.
2. Open the Brightspace integration tile
- From the left sidebar, open Integrations.
- Locate the Brightspace tile.
- Click the toggle to enable registration — this opens the Brightspace configuration form.
3. Paste in the values from Brightspace
The fields DrillBit asks for and where to find each one in Brightspace:
| Platform URL | Your Brightspace site URL — the Issuer value from the Brightspace Registration Details dialog (for example https://<tenant>.brightspace.com). |
|---|---|
| Client id | The Client Id generated when you registered the tool in Brightspace. |
| Auth end point | The OpenID Connect Authentication Endpoint — e.g. https://<tenant>.brightspace.com/d2l/lti/authenticate. |
| Access end point | The Brightspace OAuth2 Access Token URL — https://auth.brightspace.com/core/connect/token. |
| Method | Select JWK_SET. |
| Keyset end point | The Brightspace Keyset URL — e.g. https://<tenant>.brightspace.com/d2l/.well-known/jwks. |
4. Submit and confirm
- Double-check that every field matches the value you copied from Brightspace exactly — a single trailing space or wrong character will cause launches to fail.
- Click Submit.
- A success message confirms that the Brightspace integration is now active on your DrillBit account.
If submission fails, the most common cause is a mismatch between the Issuer in Brightspace and the Platform URL entered here. Re-copy it from Brightspace and try again before raising a support ticket.
DrillBit is now wired up to your Brightspace instance. Continue to Step 3 — Deploy & use the tool in courses to create the deployment, link, and content activity.
