Register New user using Social Login

[sumit784]

Hi,
I have followed the spring social integration tutorial and I am now able to allows users to social-sigin on my website using Google, Facebook and Linkedin.

Now, when the user successfully authenticates from the social site and comes back to my application, he is being presented with a registration page with email, first name, last name fields pre-filled. He needs to insert the password. I am extending "BroadleafSocialRegisterController" in my "RegisterController".

Now, what I actually want to do is this :-
- Once a user successfully authenticates and comes back to my site, I want to Login them as a new user and directly "Log them in" , instead of again presenting them with register page. Its NO point in asking for registration even when user wants to use his social-site credentials.

- When user authenticates from social site, I need to create a new user in my DB with his email-id and name ( Which I am already getting ), with some default password, so that when next times he uses his social login, I should login him, instead of taking him to register page.

How can I achieve this. I am very close , just need that last thread. I am already having the social login working and after social-site authentication, user is login on register page with all details (except password) prefilled.

Let me know, How can I achieve this last mile.

Verify that there is an entry in the BLC_CUSTOMER_ROLE table from the users coming in from the social networks. Sounds like the Customers that get created do not have an entry for ROLE_USER in the BLC_CUSTOMER_ROLE table and so they aren't able to get to the authenticated portions of the site. This specific user role is controlled in applicationContext-security.xml.

Hi,

Thanks for replying. Firstly, just to verify that there are NO entries in database "blc_customer_role" table for social login customers.

There are 2 things I would like to ask.

1) My current config in the applicationcontext-security.xml file for "Social login " is this :-

<sec:intercept-url pattern="/signin/**" requires-channel="https" />
Do I need to add the a {access="ROLE_USER"} attribute to above config or its fine this way.

2) As I have said, that the current social login flow works this way (eg- using google to login) :-

Social login -- - Autheticate from google - Social RegisterController pull the value from customer object - pre-fills the Register form with (email, first name, last name) - Redirects user to REGISTER PAGE

Now, this is the problem I am referring to . I want the user to be logged in, in the last step instead of going to register.

For example, if you go to Stackoverflow and login using google, you are just logged into the site and not sent to register page with prefilled values. So, this is exactly what I want.

Let me know where I need to change and what ?
