Social Login Setup

In order to get social logins working , You need to first create applications and generate ids, secrets etc from respective social providers' website:

For more information on creating application and finding these secrets follow this link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/aspnet/core/security/authentication/social/index

I have also provided a link to respective social provider's app creation page above their configuration in this file:

  // https://console.developers.google.com/projectselector/apis/library?pli=1
               .AddGoogle(options =>
               {
                   options.ClientId = Startup.Configuration["Authentication:Google:ClientId"];
                   options.ClientSecret = Startup.Configuration["Authentication:Google:ClientSecret"];
               })
               .AddFacebook(options =>
               {
                   options.AppId = Startup.Configuration["Authentication:Facebook:AppId"];
                   options.AppSecret = Startup.Configuration["Authentication:Facebook:AppSecret"];
               })
               // https://apps.twitter.com/
               .AddTwitter(options =>
               {
                   options.ConsumerKey = Startup.Configuration["Authentication:Twitter:ConsumerKey"];
                   options.ConsumerSecret = Startup.Configuration["Authentication:Twitter:ConsumerSecret"];
               })
               // https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/?mkt=en-us#/appList
               .AddMicrosoftAccount(options =>
               {
                   options.ClientId = Startup.Configuration["Authentication:Microsoft:ClientId"];
                   options.ClientSecret = Startup.Configuration["Authentication:Microsoft:ClientSecret"];
               });

Once you have these ids/secrets for social providers, use them in appsettings.json file and replace hardcoded "ChangeMe" text. Here is the current config looks like:

 "Authentication": {
    "Google": {
      "ClientId": "ChangeMe",
      "ClientSecret": "ChangeMe"
    },
    "Facebook": {
      "AppId": "ChangeMe",
      "AppSecret": "ChangeMe"
    },
    "Microsoft": {
      "ClientId": "ChangeMe",
      "ClientSecret": "ChangeMe"
    },
    "Twitter": {
      "ConsumerKey": "ChangeMe",
      "ConsumerSecret": "ChangeMe"
    },
    "Github": {
      "ClientId": "ChangeMe",
      "ClientSecret": "ChangeMe"
    },
    "LinkedIn": {
      "ClientId": "ChangeMe",
      "ClientSecret": "ChangeMe"
    }

Other social providers are added using external libraries. See csproj file for additional packages.

Note: When deploying in production make sure the host url in appsettings.json file correspond to your production host url.

Give it a try and if you have any propblem, raise an issue.
