Set up the Facebook provider

Facebook is one of the OAuth 2.0 identity providers you can use to authenticate visitors to your Power Pages site. OAuth 2.0–based identity providers require a client ID, client secret, and sometimes a redirect or reply URL. This article describes the following steps:

• Set up Facebook in Power Pages
• Create an app registration in Facebook
• Enter site settings in Power Pages

Set up Facebook in Power Pages

1. In your Power Pages site, select Security > Identity providers.

   If no identity providers appear, make sure External login is set to On in your site's general authentication settings.

2. To the right of Facebook, select More Commands (…) > Configure or select the provider name.

3. Leave the provider name as it is or change it if you like.

   The provider name is the text on the button that users see when they select their identity provider on the sign-in page.

4. Select Next.

5. Under Reply URL, select Copy.

6. Select Open Facebook.

   Don't close your Power Pages browser tab. You'll return to it soon.

Create an app registration in Facebook

Register an application in Facebook with your site's reply URL as the redirect URL.

Note

If you use or add a custom domain name or change your site's base URL, you must set up your identity provider to use the correct reply URL. The Facebook app uses the reply URL to redirect users to your website after authentication.
