Facebook

The Facebook Authentication Provider enables the Cloud CMS Application Server to authenticate, validate tokens
and load user profile information against Facebook.

For more information on Authentication within the App Server, see App Server Authentication / SSO.

application therein. Doing so will give you a set of API tokens:

  • appId - the Facebook application ID token
