acclaimbadges 0.1.0

Issue badges from Acclaim upon edx course completion.
Acclaim Badges for EDX

Overview
Adds a djangoapp to edx which provides a UI and API backend into Acclaim. Once installed, EDX adminstrators
will be able to add Acclaim auth tokens and select badges to be issued upon course completion. This app
then listens for course complete events, and issues badges if the student obtains a passing score.

pip install acclaim_badges

Add “acclaim_badges” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting for EDX lms like this:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'acclaim_badges',
]

Include the acclaim_badges URLconf in your project urls.py like this:
urlpatterns += (
url(r'^acclaim/', include('acclaim_badges.urls')),
)

The authorization token field is encypted. create a AES-256 keyset using keyzar:
$ mkdir fieldkeys
$ keyczart create --location=fieldkeys --purpose=crypt
$ keyczart addkey --location=fieldkeys --status=primary --size=256

Add keyset location to /edx-platform/lms/envs/common.py:
ENCRYPTED_FIELDS_KEYDIR = '/path/to/fieldkeys'

Run ./manage.py lms syncdb --settings aws to create the acclaim_badges lms app.
