Facebook Login

The login with Facebook Credentials is meant to be free, guests can not be charged.
To setup a Facebook Login for your guests, you will need to create a Facebook Developer Account and configure a Facebook App with it.
Facebook login requires at least one valid ticket template, configured as 0€ (free).
In case you use a custom certificate on your IACBOX, pay close attention to change all redirect URLs according to your custom hostname.

Developer Account #

To create a Facebook app, a Facebook Developer Account is required.
To transform a regular Facebook Account into a Facebook Developer Account, follow this link while logged in with a regular account:
https://developers.facebook.com/async/registration.

Click on Continue to proceed with the activation of the Facebook Developer account.

Creating the Facebook App #

In the Developer Account’s Dashboard, click on Create App

Choose Other when asked for the use case.

If prompted for the app type, select Consumer and proceed with Next.

Enter an App name as well as an Email address, a Category and proceed by clicking Create app.

The *Create App ID" Button creates your App and forwards you to the configuration menu. Start configuration by clicking on + Add Product in the navigation on the left side and select Facebook Login.

After Facebook Login was added, the following screen will appear:

It is not neccessary to Choose a Platform here, instead proceed by switching directly into the new Settings menu. Which can be found directly over the Quickstart navigation menu entry. This will open the Client OAuth Settings. Proceed by copying the following URL into both fields, Valid OAuth Redirect URIs and Deauthorize:

https://hotspot.internet-for-guests.com/?auth=social&hauth_done=Facebook

Afterwards proceed by clicking on Save Changes which can be found on the right bottom of the site.

Now click on the top Settings entry in the navigation menu. This will bring you to the basic settings of your app. In here, click on + Add Platform and then select Website.

In the next step fill out your Contact Email, the Display Name of your app and the Category selection. Afterwards fill the fields App Domains and Site URL with the following:

App Domains: hotspot.internet-for-guests.com and the domain of your public accessible site URL (e.g. iacbox.com)

Site URL: Your public accessible homepage as URL (e.g. https://www.iacbox.com)

After the changes are saved, set the toggle in the middle of the page from In development to Live. Without this toggle, client authentications will not work.

To conclude the setup of this app, navigate to Facebook Login/Settings. Here you will see that one final permission is required.
