You must use the back end URL of your MEDIAL system for the "launch_url" and "domain" properties. The "icon_url" property should be set to the front end URL of your MEDIAL instance appended by "/content/images/icons/icon_lti_canvas.png".

NOTE: This integration purely allows upload and view of content by both Instructors and Students. There is no way of configuring what the Student role can/can't do as with Blackboard and Moodle integrations. Students can either have full access to the tool or no access. For the latter Disable Student Uploads in the HML Back End - Settings -> LTI -> Allow Student Uploads -> Select No.
