Twitter

You need to register your application with Twitter. That means you should have your production URL ready before you start connecting it with Store4. When you finish registration, you will receive consumer key and consumer secret. These unique credentials will help your app to interact with Twitter. You can view your all registered applications on http://twitter.com/oauth and to register for a new app you need to visit http://twitter.com/apps/new

Facebook

It is recommended that users are able to authenticate with Facebook when socializing to maximize the exposure and promotion of your application. To setup Facebook on Store4, first thing you need to do is to retrieve the App ID and App Secret (it is based on oAuth 2.0), so you’ll need to register your application on https://developers.facebook.com/apps.

The Facebook/Twitter API token are saved in the database (and updated after expiration date), so you can use that to have an access to Facebook/Twitter API.

Google, Yahoo and other OpenID providers

You don’t need any key for those providers, so just enable or disable the possibilities.

LDAP (Active Directory) Settings

ldap

You can use LDAP directory to authenticate members. It can be mixed mode (LDAP + admin database will be used in the same time) or LDAP only mode. A member will be automatically added to the admin tool database if authentication was fine. You have possibility to add member’s group to the admin tool database as role by “Add group as role” option.

When connecting to AD you can use “serverless” binding or you can specify a server bound to use it always.

Here’s an example of using both:

Type URL Example
Serverless LDAP://dc=domainname,dc=com
Serverbound LDAP://domainControllerName/dc=domainName,dc=com
