From this point, this info can be sent to the vendor so that they can authenticate the LTI integration on their end and you can use the tool in edX.

However, if you are trying to use the tool in multiple places in the same course, all above steps INCLUDING the authentication needs to be replicated. This results in the previous authentication being deactivated, while the new authentication is authorized. This is an issue specific to 1.3.
