Spring social - Facebook cant authenticate

Question

I trying to implement Spring social to signin with Facebook or other social network.

I doing some wrong, but i dont know what is it.

When I do the request to facebook in the log I see the 200 (OK) but I cant get the logged user.

I the logs I see:

First I see facebook returning the user:

2014-11-19T14:18:48.156+0100|Info: http-outgoing-1 << "{"id":"***","first_name":"***","gender":"male","last_name":"***","link":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/app_scoped_user_id\/***\/","locale":"es_ES","name":"***","timezone":2,"updated_time":"2014-03-20T21:50:00+0000","verified":true}"

But after the request I see:

2014-11-19T14:18:48.164+0100|Info: GET request for "https://graph.facebook.com/me" resulted in 200 (OK)

2014-11-19T14:18:48.300+0100|Info: SecurityContextHolder now cleared, as request processing completed

When I look in my database in the table "UserConnection" I don't see the user.

Also when I try to get the principal user always is anonymous.

I dont know where is the error or where class I need to modify or create. I can put all the code.

Thanks in advance. Stel.

Answer 1

Are you using SpringSocialConfigurer? Are you simply calling the "/auth/{provider}"?

My guess is that you have the following issue:

You successfully signed in via facebook, however

• you do not have an existing userconnection with an existing local user
• you do not have a local user and need to establish a connection with a provider

You can do a few things to test

• try the signup approach using ProviderSigninController or
• try to set to Implicit signin / signup. it will create new local user if non is found.
