Blackboard Transact & IDP 3.x

[King Huang]

Hi Scott,

Ok, good to know. I really don’t know how they’re differentiating between IdP 2 and 3, or what their actual requirements are. Based on this thread, I’m hoping someone else has some experience with what exactly is needed to get Bb Transact working, as they don’t seem to know much themselves.

Thanks,

King
