|   | This node and its related services, are deprecated.For information about the legacy/deprecated social authentication node and module implementations, refer to [Social authentication](https://backstage.forgerock.com/docs/am/7/authentication-guide/about-social-authn.html) in the *AM 7 Authentication and Single Sign-On Guide*. |

## Outcomes

* `Account exists`

* `No account exists`

Evaluation continues along the `Account Exists` path if an account matching the attributes retrieved from Google are found in the user data store; otherwise, evaluation continues along the `No account exists` path.

| OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation Enabled | Controls whether the authentication node carries out additional verification steps when it receives the authorization code from the authorization server.Specifies that the client must compare the issuer identifier of the authorization server upon registration with the issuer value returned as the `iss` response parameter. If they do not match, the client must abort the authorization process. The client must also confirm that the authorization server's response is intended for the client by comparing the client's client identifier to the value of the `client_id` response parameter.The Token Issuer property must be entered when the OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation feature is enabled, so that the validation can succeed. The authorization code response contains an issuer value (`iss`) for the client to validate.For more information, refer to [section 4 of OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation Draft](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-mix-up-mitigation-01#section-4). |
| Token Issuer                        | Corresponds to the expected issuer identifier value in the `iss` field of the ID token.Example: `https://accounts.google.com`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
