Demo: Social Authentication (via Facebook)

Speaker 1: To set up social authentication with Facebook and Okta, you have to make a few changes on both sides to establish a mutual trust relationship.

Speaker 1: We'll start on the Okta side. The fastest way is to use our identity provider wizard to set up Facebook in just a few clicks. The default settings are sufficient for everything except the Facebook app configuration. By default, we'll match an Okta username to a Facebook username, but we can also match based on email address. To help you set up the required app, we have a handy guide available here.

Speaker 1: When I visit Developers.Facebook.com I'm already logged in, so now I can create my application. The default configuration is sufficient, so now I need to just copy my app ID and app secret. If you're familiar with Oauth and Openid Connect, these are equivalent client ID and client secret.

Speaker 1: Now we go back to Okta, save and we get back a pair of URLs. We'll grab the second one and update our Facebook app with it. What we've just done is set up a handshake between Okta and Facebook. When a user visits the Okta login page, they can select Facebook and Okta will add the scopes it requires, like email on profile.
