Where to specify the appId and appSecret for Facebook login?

Question

Every time there is a new version of .NET Framework, the framework for authentication using external logins is overhauled!

The external login documentation link for MVC 6, http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=532715, is missing.

The initialization now uses IApplicationBuilder instead of IAppBuilder in the previous version. The useFacebookAuthentication method now does not take appId and appSecret parameters. How do I specify these?

Answer 1

In your project.json file, in the dependencies section:

"Microsoft.AspNet.Authentication.Facebook": "1.0.0-rc1-final"

Then, in Startup.cs:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
    // Other code here

    app.UseFacebookAuthentication(options =>
    {
        options.AppId = "";
        options.AppSecret = "";
    });

    app.UseMvc();
}
