There are various options for how you might use the Social Identity:

For examples of ways to integrate Social Identity, see Understanding Social Identity Processes.
Users can choose to log in to Access Manager protected resources using credentials from a Social Identity Provider if you integrate Social Identity with Access Manager.
In this arrangement, users enter their Identity Provider credentials. Access Manager forwards the User's login request to Mobile and Social, which completes the authentication process with the Identity Provider in the background. Mobile and Social (the relying party) redirects the User to Access Manager. At the same time, Mobile and Social provides Access Manager with the User's authentication status and User attributes, which were sent by the Identity Provider. For more information about how Access Manager uses Social Identity for authentication, see Authentication Flow for a User With Access Manager and Social Identity.
You can configure Mobile and Social Services to allow mobile devices to authenticate using Social Identity.
After an Identity Provider verifies a user's credentials, Social Identity can prompt the user to create an account with your organization. To pre-populate the new user registration form with data returned from the Identity Provider, refer to the "Developing Applications Using the Social Identity Client SDK" chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Access Management.
Developers who maintain Java-compliant Web applications can add Social Identity functionality to their Web offering using the Mobile and Social Social Identity SDK.
This SDK is available for Java-powered Web applications only. For information about the SDK, see the "Developing Applications Using the Social Identity Client SDK" chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Access Management.
