Login Mahara Mobile as user authentication is LTI
12 February 2026, 2:09
I want to use Mahara Mobile and I have a LTI 1.1 integration setup with Moodle. Is there a way to log directly into Mahara Mobile app? I see only the login type 'Local'.

Hi Arnout,
It sounds like you have not allowed the manual token generation. Can you please check your plugin settings and enable that? You will then have the option to generate a token in your personal 'Settings > Connected apps' and see the option to enter a token on Mahara Mobile.
Thank you

Hi Kristina,
Thank you, but I already followed this. I don't see where in the Mahara app I can enter the generated token.

Hi Arnout,
Can you check that your site is broadcasting the info that the mobile app needs by going to module/mobileapi/json/info.php within a browser it should output something similar to:
{"maharaversion":"26.04",
"wwwroot":" the URL of your site ",
"sitename":"Remote Mahara",
"wsenabled":true,
"wsprotocols":["rest","oauth"],
"mobileapienabled":true,
"mobileapiversion":"1",
"logintypes":["basic","sso","manual"]
}
Where the 'manual' mean token option.
Also if you had logged into the mobile app before you might need to logout and try connecting you site again so that it fetches the updated data.
Cheers

Hi Robert,
Fortunately, my second brain (AI) knew how to retrieve this information. I also see “manual” listed.
I tried logging in again, and after entering the URL of my Mahara site, I suddenly saw the option to enter a token. So it worked.
Thanks for your help, and now I can show the Mahara mobile app in my demo next week.
Cheers,
Arnout
