Credentials plugin for Tutor

This is a plugin for Tutor that integrates the Credentials application in an Open edX platform. Credentials application supports course and program certificates. This plugin offers an admin panel where user can do configurations for the certificates of his course and program.

Note that user will have to create the course/program using Discovery plugin. Then Credentials plugin will be used for certificates configurations.

pip install https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-credentials.git

Note that this plugin is compatible with Kubernetes integration.

For further instructions on how to setup Credentials with Open edX, check the Official Credentials documentation.

Usage

pip install tutor-credentials
tutor plugins enable discovery mfe credentials
tutor local launch

For Copying programs that user make in Discovery plugin into Credentials. Run the below command:

tutor local run credentials ./manage.py copy_catalog

Using Django Admin

The credentials user interface will be available at http://credentials.local.edly.io for a local instance, and at CREDENTIALS_HOST (by default: http(s)://credentials.<your lms host>) in production. In order to run commands from the UI login with an admin user at: http://credentials.local.edly.io/admin/. User should be able to authenticate with the same username and password that he used for his lms. User can also create superuser for credentials using the below command

tutor local run credentials ./manage.py createsuperuser
