Facebook SSO to XPages

One of the things I've been playing with this week is getting Facebook SSO working with XPages. It's not a true SSO implementation as Domino doesn't support OAuth, but from the user's point of view they are not having to enter a username and password to get authenticated against a Domino app. I think it's pretty cool...

Very cool Matt.

Question: Was this only possible because of X Pages? Or did you extract the login info from Facebook and generate a LTPA token?

Hi Mark,

No this would be possible with classic Domino, just harder. I will write up the process as soon as I get the chance but basically it uses the Facebook graphs Rest API to get information about the user based upon their access_token key and then registering them as full Domino users behind the scenes.

Cheers Matt - looking forward to the write up.
