# Test social identity providers

|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

|   | Social authentication is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of IDM. For more information, refer to [Deprecation](../release-notes/deprecated-functionality.html#deprecated-standalone-socialid-auth). |

Once social identity provider configuration is complete, you should test the provider:

1. Navigate to the login screen for the End User UI, `https://openidm.example.com:8443`.

2. Click Register on the login page.

3. Click the applicable link to sign in with the selected social identity provider.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                   |
   | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | If you do not refer to a link to sign in with any social identity provider, make sure that Social Registration is enabled. In the admin UI, select Configure > User Registration. |

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | If you refer to a redirect URI error from a social identity provider, check the configuration for your web application in the social identity provider developer console. There may be a mistake in the redirect URI or redirect URL. |

4. Follow the prompts from your social identity provider to log in to your account.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                           |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | If there is a problem with the interface to the social identity provider, you might refer to a Register Your Account screen with information acquired from that provider. |

5. Because security questions are enabled by default, you must add at least one security question and answer to proceed. For more information, refer to [Security questions](selfservice-questions.html).

   When the Social ID registration process is complete, you are redirected to the End User UI at `https://openidm.example.com:8443`.

6. You should now be able to use the sign in link for your social identity provider.
