Understanding the Access Debugging Page

You can use the iTunes U Access Debugging page to help debug any problems you encounter using your transfer script to access and administer your iTunes U site.

Your transfer script delivers authentication and authorization information to iTunes U so users can securely access your iTunes U site. The script can contain information such as your site URL, Debug Suffix, Shared Secret, authorization token, and credentials. The credentials and user information you send officially identifies the user and confirms the user’s specific access permissions to your iTunes U site and to resources within your site.

Because your transfer script contains detailed information to ensure a secure communication with iTunes U, as well as credential and user information, you might experience problems sending the information. The iTunes U Access Debugging page displays the exact information your transfer script sent to iTunes U; explaining the behavior you experience when using your transfer script. You can use the iTunes U Access Debugging page, along with this guide, to help you resolve many of the access and credential issues you encounter during initial site setup and testing.
