Register your apps for Facebook authentication with Mobile Services

This topic shows you how to register your apps to be able to use Facebook to authenticate with Windows Azure Mobile Services.

Note

To complete the procedure in this topic, you must have a Facebook account that has a verified email address and a mobile phone number. To create a new Facebook account, go to facebook.com.

  1. Navigate to the Facebook Developers web site and sign-in with your Facebook account credentials.

  2. (Optional) If you have not already registered, click Register Now button, accept the policy, provide any and then click Done.

  3. Click Apps, then click Create New App.

  4. Choose a unique name for your app, select OK.

    This registers the app with Facebook

  5. Under Select how your app integrates with Facebook, expand Website with Facebook Login, type the URL of your mobile service in Site URL, and then click Save Changes.

  1. Make a note of the values of App ID and App Secret.

    Security Note

    The app secret is an important security credential. Do not share this secret with anyone or distribute it with your app.

You are now ready to use a Facebook login for authentication in your app by providing the App ID and App Secret values to Mobile Services.
