Facebook Limited Login

Facebook Limited Login is required by the Facebook iOS SDK.

App creation

Register a new application at Facebook App Creation, don’t use localhost in the App Domains and Site URL fields as Facebook does not allow this.

Instead, use a placeholder like myapp.com and define that domain in your /etc/hosts or similar file for your OS. For more information see the hosts file article on Wikipedia.

Configuration

Set the SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_LIMITED_LOGIN_KEY to the value of the App Id. This field is required for verifying the Facebook access token received from the iOS SDK.

Django Configuration

Set the Facebook Limited Login Key in settings.py:

SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_LIMITED_LOGIN_KEY = "{app_id}"

Enable the auth backend:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
  ...
  "social_core.backends.facebook_limited.FacebookLimitedLogin",
  ...
)
