Transferring Authorization Data to iTunes U

To successfully access iTunes U pages or groups when a user clicks an iTunes U link in your webpage, you must transfer an authorization token over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to iTunes U. The authorization token is a string containing a user’s credentials and, optionally, user identity information, as well as a time stamp and digital signature.

To transfer authorization data to iTunes U:

1. Generate the token data.

2. Create the digital signature.

3. Send the authorization token to iTunes U.
