Social Auth notes

How to Add Social Login to Django

How to Add Social Login to Django

pre test notes

  1. disable 'test_social.middleware.ForwardHQMiddleware'
  2. reset LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/tsoc' or to wherever you want it to land
  3. set SOCIAL_AUTH_URL_NAMESPACE = 'social'
  4. DON'T use localhost if you plan on using twitter, twitter doesn't like it

error in login

stackoverflow desc

change: path('login/', views.login, name='login') path('login/', views.LoginView.as_view(template_name="registration/login.django"), name='login')

when making callback urls

  • you can use localhost

  • you can also specify a port on localhost, e.g. http://localhost:8026

  • you can also use minyanfinder.stg or any .stg

  • make sure to specify the "u" letter in oauth

  • make sure to add the final forward slash "/" at the end of the callback url

minyanfinder.stg/oauth/complete/twitter/

global variables

global variables should be in settings.py

local info like the specific client id/secret key, etc, should be in the local setting sfiles

test_social should only be activated in the local setting files

twitter notes

  1. you want to either use http or https, be specific
  2. twitter does not use localhost and forwardhq is buggy
  3. twitter DOES register 127.0.0.1:8026 as a callback

facebook notes

  1. can use localhost
  2. minaynfinder.stg is not working, need a certificate of some kind
  3. forwardhq also not working

using a domain

create registered users

Go to Roles->Test Users

create the ssl

  1. set a registered domain name to point at the ip address (ie ronnyabraham.com)

  2. create a [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/openssl-essentials-working-with-ssl-certificates-private-keys-and-csrs#generating-ssl-certificates](crt certificate)

  3. Settings->Basic-> App Domains add ronnyabraham.com

  4. Settings->Basic->Website/Site URL add https://ronnyabraham.com

  5. in Products->FacebookLogin->Settings add the following to "VAlid OAuth Redirect URIs"

  1. use letsencrypt to create ssl keys

setting up facebook

  1. if used for testing make sure you set the app FOR TESTING you have to do this in the create app stage

  2. select create test app from the app you like

  3. go to settings->basic get the app-id and app-secret

  4. go to Settings-Basic-App Domains and add your FQDN (ie. mycrustyass.com)

  5. go to Settings-Basic-Website (it's near the bottom, add website if it isn't there), add the site URL with it's prefix ie http or https.

Step 5 is VERY IMPORTANT b/c facebook doesn't recognize http prefix. You must have SSL set up. But this is NOT the caes with localhost!

  1. in Settings-Products add Facebook Login then set Web OAuth Login to true
  2. Settings-Products-Facebook Login add Valid OAuth redirect calls.

Important! You must find out what the specific redirect call looks like. Once again, facebook doesn't require this for localhost, but for a named host it does

e.g. https://mycrustyass.com/oauth/complete/facebook/

  1. test this URL in the Settings-Products-FAcebook Login-Redirect URL Validator
