Open the settings for the Ally admin tool:

Site Administration > Plugins > Admin Tools > Ally

The Secret, Key, Launch URL, File updates URL and Client id fields should be populated with values provided to you by an
Ally representative.

You will also need to make the Moodle Ally web service available to Ally. The easiest way to do this is to click the
link entitled "Auto configure Ally web service" at the bottom of the settings page and then by clicking continue. You
will be able to test that the Ally web service is working by following the link at the bottom of the page. Please note,
this URL must be accessible from the internet for Ally to function. Following this link should open a new page starting
with the following text:
{"tool_ally":{"version":...
If successful, you will need to copy this link and provide it to your Ally representative. They will contact you once
everything is set up at their end.
