Open Login Credentials for Social Accounts

B2C Service supports two open login standards, OAuth and OpenID. Both allow easy integration of sites that support either one of those open login standards from the customer portal.

For details on the customer portal open login as it relates to Facebook and Twitter, as well as other customer portal login methods, see How Customers Log in to the Customer Portal. When your Facebook page or your Twitter account is created, they provide two values—your application ID and your secret key. To allow single sign-on, these values must be assigned to their respective configuration settings in B2C Service.

  • FACEBOOK_OAUTH_APP_ID and FACEBOOK_OAUTH_APP_SECRET
  • TWITTER_OAUTH_APP_ID and TWITTER_OAUTH_APP_SECRET
