You'll need a minimum of: * An Instagram account * A Facebook developer account * An application name and description * A website URL for your app, such as `http://openidm.example.com:8080` * A Redirect URL for IDM, such as `http://openidm.example.com:8080/` ## Configure an Instagram social identity provider To configure an Instagram social identity provider using the admin UI: 1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Social ID Providers. 2. On the Social Identity Providers page, enable Instagram. 3. In the Instagram Provider window, enter applicable values in the fields, and click Save. For a complete list of fields, refer to [Instagram Social Identity Provider Configuration Details](#appendix-instagram-social). After you save the social identity provider configuration, IDM generates a `conf/identityProvider-instagram.json` file: ```json { "provider" : "instagram", ... "clientId" : "", "clientSecret" : { "$crypto" : { "type" : "x-simple-encryption", "value" : { "cipher" : "AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding", "stableId" : "openidm-sym-default", "salt" : "", "data" : "", "keySize" : 16, "purpose" : "idm.config.encryption", "iv" : "", "mac" : "" } } }, "authorizationEndpoint" : "https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/", "tokenEndpoint" : "https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token", "userInfoEndpoint" : "https://graph.instagram.com/me?fields=id,username", "redirectUri" : "http://openidm.example.com:8080/", "scope" : [ "user_profile", ], ... ``` The file includes `schema` information for each social identity account, as collected by IDM, as well as the order in which it appears in the admin UI. When you've registered a user with an Instagram social identity, you can verify this by selecting Manage > Instagram, and then selecting a user. For more information about the properties in this file, refer to [Instagram Social Identity Provider Configuration Details](#appendix-instagram-social). ## Configure user registration to link to Instagram After you configure the Instagram social identity provider, you can activate it through User Registration. To do so in the admin UI, select Configure > User Registration, and activate that feature. Under the Social tab that appears, enable Social Registration. For more information on IDM user self-service features, refer to [Self-service end user UI](../end-user-ui.html). | | | | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | When you enable Social Registration, you're allowing users to register on IDM through all active social identity providers. | ## Instagram social identity provider configuration details You can set up the Instagram social identity provider through the admin UI or in a `conf/identityProvider-instagram.json` file. IDM generates the `identityProvider-instagram.json` file when you configure and enable this social identity provider in the admin UI. Alternatively, you can create the file manually. The following table includes the information shown in the admin UI Instagram Provider pop-up window, along with associated information in the `identityProvider-instagram.json` file: **Instagram social identity provider configuration properties** | Property (UI) | Property (JSON file) | Description | | ---------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Client ID | `clientId` | Your Instagram App client identifier | | Client Secret | `clientSecret` | Used with the Client ID to access the Instagram API | | Scope | `scope` | An array of strings that allows access to user data | | Authorization Endpoint | `authorizationEndpoint` | Typically `https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/`; known as an Instagram *Authorize URL* | | Token Endpoint | `tokenEndpoint` | Endpoint that receives a one-time authorization code, and returns an access token; typically `https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token` | | User Info Endpoint | `userInfoEndpoint` | Endpoint that transmits scope-related fields; typically `https://graph.instagram.com/me?fields=id,username` | | Not in the admin UI | `provider` | Name of the social identity provider | | Not in the admin UI | `configClass` | Configuration class for the authentication module | | Not in the admin UI | `basicAuth` | Whether to use basic authentication | | Not in the admin UI | `propertyMap` | Mapping between Instagram and IDM | For information on social identity provider buttons and badges, refer to [Social identity provider button and badge properties](appendix-social-badges.html).
