Adding Facebook Identity Provider to STS created on development machine

Question

Hi,

I have a situation whereby I want to add Facebook as one of the Identity Provider to STS when I "Create a new STS project in the current solution".

I have gone through the steps from this blog and I got it work only when I create STS on the Azure platform/AppFabricLabs.  http://blogs.southworks.net/mwoloski/2011/04/12/adding-internet-identity-providers-like-facebook-google-liveid-and-yahoo-to-your-mvc-web-application-using-windows-azure-appfabric-access-control-service-and-jquery-in-3-steps/

However, I am clueless on how to bring the Facebook Identity Provider to the STS if I choose the option Create a new STS project in the current solution when I add STS Reference to my solution.

Any help and advice is appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi,

You could look at using ACS for this.

I've not done it with facebook, but I have with LiveID, Yahoo and Google.

 

The steps i used where:

On premise:

Create an on-premise app.

In Azure AppFabric:

Add Yahoo, Google (and facebook) as identity providers.

Add your on-premise app as a relying party

Configure a rule set for the relying party and the identity provider.

On premise:

Add STS reference to you app using Azure ACS as the STS.

Modify web.config to allow STS tokens in posts.

 

I'd recommend taking a walkthru of adding Lice ID first, as it's easter, then add facebook.

 

I plan some webcasts on ACS soon, i might do one on adding social identities as IPs tomorrow, i'll post if i do,

Regards,

Alan

Sorry, a little humor Alan, I noticed you said Lice ID rather than Live ID! :) Too funny.
