How to get sessionId in canvas app?

Hi Sumit, 

When you create a canvas app, you can use one of the following authentication methods:
  • Signed Request
  • OAuth 2.0
In OAuth 2.0, the access token is a session ID and can be used directly. You will find steps to retrieve the access token in this document

Hi Anudeep,

I tried creating a signed request but I am getting an empty body in request object inspite of getting an encoded signed request when I open tab containing canvas. Also in permitted users setting on connected app I have choosen "Admin approved users are pre-authorized". Also in profile related list I had added System Administrator and Standard User. I don't know what am I doing wrong.
