As part of LTI compatability, a Tool Consumer Profile is generated which describes Blackboard Learn from the perspective of tool interoperability. This is a fixed URL on any given Blackboard Learn instance:

webapps/ws/wsadmin/tcprofile

The System Administrator can disable the generation of this profile on the Proxy Tool Global Properties page. This returns an XML description that includes the following items:

• http url of this system
• https url of this system
• css url
• webservices offered (including url of webservice reflecting ssl choice), operations offered per Web Service

Here is the Tool Consumer Profile:
