Add social identity providers

This article describes how to add social identity providers in the Microsoft Azure portal.

Social identity providers allow users to use their social accounts for authentication. Adding social identity provider authentication is optional in Dynamics 365 Commerce.

If social identity provider authentication isn't added, the default Microsoft Entra B2C profiles will be the main profiles for your user base. Users will select their own username (their preferred email address) and set a password. Microsoft Entra ID B2C will authenticate users directly.

If social identity provider authentication is added and a user chooses one of the social identity providers offered, an entity is still created in the Microsoft Entra B2C tenant. Microsoft Entra ID B2C will then authenticate the user's credentials with the social identity provider.

Note

The identity provider sign in creates a record in the B2C tenant, but in a different format than local accounts since it will call the external social identity provider reference for authentication. The user can use the same email address across social identity providers, meaning that the email username used for authentication may not be unique to the tenant. Microsoft Entra ID B2C will only enforce that users have a unique email address on local B2C accounts.

Before you can add a social identity provider for authentication, you must go to the identity provider's portal and set up an identity provider application as instructed in the Microsoft Entra B2C documentation. A list of links to the documentation is provided below.

Add and set up a social identity provider

Note

Adding social identity providers is an optional step when setting up a business-to-consumer (B2C) tenant in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce.

To add and set up a social identity provider, follow these steps.

  1. In the Azure portal, navigate to Identity Providers.
  2. Select Add. The Add identity provider screen appears.
  3. Under Name, enter the name to be displayed to users on your sign-in screen.
  4. Under Identity provider type, select an identity provider from the list.
  5. Select OK.
  6. Select Set up this identity provider to access the Set up the social identity provider screen.
  7. Under Client ID, enter the client ID as obtained from the identity provider application setup.
  8. Under Client secret, enter the client secret as obtained from the identity provider application setup.
  9. Attach user flow for sign-in/sign-up policies:
  10. Go to Microsoft Entra B2C – User flows (policies) > {your sign-in sign-up policy} > Identity providers.
  11. To attach the sign-in/sign-up user flow policy, select each identity provider you have set up for your account. To test the flows, select Run user flow for each identity provider. A new tab displays the sign-in page displaying the new identity provider selection box.

Note

If using the custom pages built in Commerce for your user flows, the buttons for social identity providers will need to be added using the extensibility features of the Commerce module library. Additionally, when setting up your applications with a specific social identity provider, in some cases URL or configuration strings may be case sensitive. Refer to your social identity provider's connection instructions for more information.
