Open Badge Factory - plugin

Open Badge Factory is a cloud platform that provides the tools your organization needs to implement a meaningful and sustainable Open Badges system.

With the local_obf plugin you can issue Open Badges created in Open Badge Factory. 

You can connect multiple OBF accounts to your Moodle site using OAuth2 API keys.

Post install

To connect to Open Badge Factory, the plugin needs API authentication key (OAuth2 or Legay client-side certificate). Only one key type can be used at a time. Remove previous connections in Moodle if you need to switch.

To generate the required API keys, log in to Open Badge Factory. When logged in, navigate to Admin tools > API.

OAuth2 keys:

On the API page click on Generate new client secret.

Give a Key description and click Generate.

Copy the generated client ID and generated secret

On your Moodle site :

• Go to your OBF Moodle plugin settings, in Site administration > Open Badges > Settings.  

• Click Add new and paste your client ID and generated secret

• Define roles authorized to issue badges for this client

• Click Add new client

Repeat the same process to add another OBF client.

Legacy key:

On the API page click on Generate certificate signing request token.

Copy the generated token into OBF Moodle plugin settings, in Site administration > Open Badges > Settings.
