Use Cases

Some particular use cases are listed below.

1. Use social auth just for account association (no login):

   urlpatterns += patterns('',
       url(r'^associate/(?P<backend>[^/]+)/$', associate,
           name='socialauth_associate_begin'),
       url(r'^associate/complete/(?P<backend>[^/]+)/$', associate_complete,
           name='socialauth_associate_complete'),
       url(r'^disconnect/(?P<backend>[^/]+)/$', disconnect,
           name='socialauth_disconnect'),
       url(r'^disconnect/(?P<backend>[^/]+)/(?P<association_id>[^/]+)/$',
           disconnect, name='socialauth_disconnect_individual'),
   )
   

2. Include a similar snippet in your page to make BrowserID_ work::

   <!– Include BrowserID JavaScript –> <script src=”https://browserid.org/include.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

   <!– Define a form to send the POST data –> <form method=”post” action=”{% url socialauth_complete “browserid” %}”>

   <input type=”hidden” name=”assertion” value=”” /> <a rel=”nofollow” id=”browserid” href=”#”>BrowserID</a>

   </form>

   <!– Setup click handler that retieves BrowserID assertion code and sends

   POST data –>

   <script type=”text/javascript”>

   $(function () {

   $(‘#browserid’).click(function (e) {

   e.preventDefault(); var self = $(this);

   navigator.id.get(function (assertion) {

   if (assertion) {

   self.parent(‘form’)

   .find(‘input[type=hidden]’)

   .attr(‘value’, assertion) .end()

   .submit();

   } else {

   alert(‘Some error occurred’);

   }

   });

   });

   });

   </script>
