NYOUG 2019 Summer Meeting: Using Social Login with Oracle APEX

Using Social Login with Oracle APEX

Social Login refers to using existing account information from social media services, such as Google or Facebook, to sign into a third-party website, instead of creating a new account that is specific to that website. Oracle APEX introduced support for social login, based on OAuth2, in version 18.1. With APEX 19.1, OAuth2-based authentication has been extended to logging into the APEX Builder itself. In this session, we’ll explain how social login works, how to configure a social login app in Google and Facebook and how to create an application in Oracle APEX that provides multiple forms of social authentication, in addition to using Oracle APEX accounts
