Configuration steps
- Navigate to Console > Connectors > Social Connectors.
- Click "Add social connector" and select the desired type.
- Follow the README guide and complete required fields and customize settings.
- Click "Save and Done" to finish.
- Test the connector by initiating a social sign-in.
Please note the following settings:
- Identity provider name: Each social connector has a unique Identity Provider (IdP) name to differentiate user identities. While common connectors use a fixed IdP name, custom connectors require a unique value. Learn more about IdP names for more details.
- Sync user profiles: Choose when to synchronize user profile information (e.g., avatar, username). The default is to "sync only upon registration". "sync at each sign-in" is an alternative but may overwrite custom user data.
Enable social sign-in
Once you create a social connector successfully, you can enable it as a Social Sign-in button in Sign-in Experience.
- Navigate to Console > Sign-in experience >Sign-up and sign-in.
- (Optional) Choose "Not applicable" for sign-up identifier if you need social login only.
- Add configured social connectors to the "Social sign-in" section.
- Reorder connectors as needed.
- Click "Save changes" and test the "Live preview".
