how to finish off logging in with facebook account (and keep those details in membership db). I was reading around that one needs to get user's email, of course adding any email or name in txt box will not validate ... however it is possible to add it as another service after user logged in with any other method like google or so...
so how do i change the code to get user's email pulled from fb whilst using built in oauth model in .net 4.5

I have created a project scaffolded by Visual Studio 2019 using Angular and MVC Rest API using C# and .NET Core with Entity Framework.
I selected to use IdentityServer4 to register and confirm user emails. With this you also get password reset functionality, a login screen etc... I have configured SendGrid to send emails and have also hooked into Facebook as a authentication provider.
I wish to create user specific data after a user confirms their account on clicking the confirm link that was emailed to them. The user specific data is in the form of other tables and needs to be populated on confirmation.
I am at the point thinking that I have to write the code I have gotten for free (IdentityServer4) to get what I want done.
My question is how do I hook into the confirmation of the email\user to populate the tables with the users individual data? Is there an event\hook or interface that I should be providing.
I am implementing Google Sign in in my VueJS App and I have a few questions before starting:
How to create a user when a user clicks on Google sign in button?
Do I have to create a custom route just for that?
Do I have to generate a random password because it is mandatory?
When a user is already registered and clicks on Google Sign in.
Do I have to pass Google Token from Vue JS to Symfony, then with google API, verify if token is valid and generate a token from my symfony application?
If you have some good documentation, I'll take it.
To get this started, it's actually a relatively complicated functionality to implement. This is because you'll have to use custom (maybe multiple if one can both login with Google account or register to your own website) guard authenticators. Moreover, you will need to use an OAuth bundle like KnpUOAuth2ClientBundle or HWIOAuthBundle.
The answer to your questions:
You have to create a custom route for that but you do not need to generate a random password, you can just make password nullable and add checks that it is null only for users logged in through Google (if it's not possible for you then just add something random as password). Additionally, I would propose to add a field provider to your User entity if you are providing both google and your own authentication. You should set this to 'google' or 'website respectively.
The user authentication process is being handled by Google and you are getting an access token as response that contains user's information like name, email etc, so you do not really have to worry about validating passwords etc.
This article helps you get started with KnpUOAuth2ClientBundle.
I'm using .NET backend on Azure Mobile Service. It's easy to set up authentication with social identity provider, so that the client can use e.g. Facebook iOS SDK to login, as illustrated in the official tutorial
In custom authentication, as I need to maintain my own Account table according to the official tutorial, I have full control over the registration & login.
I'd like to have a centralized User table to store information about all users, no matter which channel they used to authenticate.
My question is, is there a way for the .NET backend to be notified when a user register or login with a Facebook token? So that a new row can be added to the centralized User table even when the user is using Facebook to authenticate?
Thank you!
Yes - the User.GetIdentities() method contains the token and mechanism that was used to authenticate the user. You can use this to update your table. For an overview of how to use this token, see this blog post by the team: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/custom-login-scopes-single-sign-on-new-asp-net-web-api-updates-to-the-azure-mobile-services-net-backend/
I have a registration-login system on my own website yet I want to add Facebook Connect too. I have some required parts of my user table as:
Username
Password
Email
The first thing that came to my mind is, setting userId as username, userId#facebook.com as email and setting the password to null and check if a record exists with these details in my user table. If not insert a new user with these details, if exists return that user details.
Is this a good design? How should I connect facebook connect to my website?
Thank you
I would suggest you to take this into a more deep ASP.NET, and start an MVC project
then use the Microsoft Facebook API SDK to play around with the API, it's very easy and because they are using the new dynamic type, now that Facebook changed the Open Graph, it will continue to work great as well.
in your login page, add a facebook login button and ask for permissions, for example:
<fb:login-button perms="email" size="medium">
redirect-uri="http://yourdomain.com/FBLogin/"
Subscribe using Facebook</fb:login-button>
in your FBLogin controller, login the user using the FB credentials, if the user uses your normal form, use the normal login
If you create a custom MemberShip Provider, you can easily use that for both accesses... I write a simple start to a custom Membership provider here
I have to implement facebook login and also want to get logged in user's information like birthday, firstname, Email address.
I have already done some other stuff like recent activities etc of facebook using javascript SDK of facebook.
i am developing application in ASP.Net (C#).
How can i get user information, Please provide me any idea.
Once the user's logged in and you asked for extended permissions (you can use Javascript to do that) you get an access token and then you can call the Facebook graph API. This is server side.
FB do not offer a C# SDK for their API so you will have to find one (or make you own)
