Question: Hello, I'm working on a project for a class. Pretty much I want to create a Google Chrome Extension that allows the users to login

Hello, I'm working on a project for a class. Pretty much I want to create a Google Chrome Extension that allows the users to login to their University Wisconsin River Falls (UWRF) Desire 2 Learn (D2L) account, and have their notifications show on the Chrome Extension. I'm not very skilled with HTTP/CSS/Javascript outside of the fundamentals and basics. Currently I have my manifest.json file to allow the extension to exist, and I've got a basic popup.html form asking for the student's UWRF ID and their password. But can someone provide some easy to understand info on how I can have the extension login to our D2L account? It's the biggest hurdle I'm going to have and could use some help. For visual reference, I'll provide the URL where we enter our UWRF information through the standard URL. (https://falconidp.uwrf.edu/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO?execution=e2s1). I want to be able to somehow get logged in with the extension, and then allow the extension to load our notifications so the students can see their notifications at any time by clicking the extension without having to go back to the full webpage. I'm not neccesarily looking for code as it's pretty situational, but I could use any and all help/pointers/code/etc to get me going in the right direction. Thank you. manifest.json---
