Duplicates OAuth 2.0 node but is preconfigured to work with Facebook. You specify only the Client ID and Client Secret.

This node and its related services, are deprecated.

For information about the legacy/deprecated social authentication node and module implementations, refer to Social authentication in the AM 7 Authentication and Single Sign-On Guide.

Properties

Property Usage

Client ID

Specifies the client_id parameter as provided by Facebook.

Client Secret

Specifies the client_secret parameter as provided by Facebook.

Authentication Endpoint URL

Specifies the URL to the social provider’s endpoint handling authentication as described in section 3.1 of The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (RFC 6749).

Default: https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth

Access Token Endpoint URL

Specifies the URL to the endpoint handling access tokens as described in section 3.2 of The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (RFC 6749).

Default: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.12/oauth/access_token

User Profile Service URL

Specifies the user profile URL that returns profile information.

Default: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me?fields=name%2Cemail%2Cfirst_name%2Clast_name

OAuth Scope

Specifies a comma-separated list of user profile attributes the client application requires, according to The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (RFC 6749). The list depends on the permissions the resource owner, such as the end user, grants to the client application.

Redirect URL

Specifies the URL the user is redirected to by Facebook after authenticating to continue the flow.

Set this property to the URL of the AM UI. For example, https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/XUI/.

If the tree is not in the Top Level Realm, you can specify the realm in the redirect URL. Use a DNS alias for the realm, or add the realm as a query parameter, for example, https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/XUI/?realm=/mySubRealm.

For more information, refer to Configure DNS aliases to access a realm.

Social Provider

Specifies the name of the social provider for which this node is being set up.

Default: facebook

Auth ID Key

Specifies the attribute the social identity provider uses to identify an authenticated individual.

Default: id

Use Basic Auth

Specifies that the client uses HTTP Basic authentication when authenticating to the social provider.

Default: true

Account Provider

Specifies the name of the class that implements the account provider.

Default: org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.common.mapping.DefaultAccountProvider

Account Mapper

Specifies the name of the class that implements the method of locating local accounts based on the attributes returned from Facebook.

Default: org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.common.mapping.JsonAttributeMapper

Attribute Mapper

Specifies the list of fully qualified class names for implementations that map attributes from Facebook to AM profile attributes.

Default: org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.common.mapping.JsonAttributeMapper|uid|facebook-

Account Mapper Configuration

Specifies the attribute configuration used to map the account of the user authenticated in the Social Facebook provider to the local data store in AM. Valid values are in the form provider-attr=local-attr.

Default: id=uid.

When using the org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.common.mapping.JsonAttributeMapper class, you can parse JSON objects in mappings using dot notation.

For example, given a JSON payload of:

{
  "sub" : "12345",
  "name" : {
    "first_name" : "Demo",
    "last_name" : "User"
  }
}

You can create a mapper, such as name.first_name=cn.

Attribute Mapper Configuration

Map of Facebook user account attributes to local user profile attributes, with values in the form provider-attr=local-attr.

Default: name=cn, last_name=sn, id=uid, first_name=givenname, email=mail.

When using the org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.common.mapping.JsonAttributeMapper class, you can parse JSON objects in mappings using dot notation.

For example, given a JSON payload of:

{
  "sub" : "12345",
  "name" : {
    "first_name" : "Demo",
    "last_name" : "User"
  }
}

You can create a mapper, such as name.first_name=cn.

Save attributes in the session

When enabled, saves the attributes in the Attribute Mapper Configuration field to the AM session.

Default: true.

OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation Enabled

Controls whether the authentication node carries out additional verification steps when it receives the authorization code from the authorization server.

Specifies that the client must compare the issuer identifier of the authorization server upon registration with the issuer value returned as the iss response parameter. If they do not match, the client must abort the authorization process. The client must also confirm that the authorization server’s response is intended for the client by comparing the client’s client identifier to the value of the client_id response parameter.

The Token Issuer property must be entered when the OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation feature is enabled, so that the validation can succeed. The authorization code response contains an issuer value (iss) for the client to validate.

For more information, refer to section 4 of OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation Draft.

Token Issuer

Corresponds to the expected issuer identifier value in the iss field of the ID token.

Example: https://graph.facebook.com
