# User-Agent with Social Sign-On Flow Template

OAuth 2.0 User-Agent flow combined with Social Sign-On (OIDC), where Salesforce acts as both the Authorization Provider (for the client) and the Relying Party (to the external OIDC Provider like Facebook, Google, etc.).

## When to Use

- Mobile apps or SPAs requiring social login (Google, Facebook, etc.)
- When Salesforce is an intermediary between your app and social identity providers
- User-Agent flow (implicit-like) with external OIDC authentication
- Silent re-authentication scenarios (OP session cookies)

## Key Concepts

### Dual Role of Salesforce

| Role                       | Context                        | Responsibility                          |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| **Authorization Provider** | OAuth flow with Client         | Issues access tokens to your app        |
| **Relying Party (RP)**     | OIDC flow with Social Provider | Consumes ID tokens from Google/Facebook |

### Authentication Endpoints

| System              | Endpoint                       | Purpose                  |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------ |
| Salesforce Auth     | `/services/oauth2/authorize`   | Start User-Agent flow    |
| Salesforce Callback | `/services/authglobalcallback` | Receive OP auth code     |
| Salesforce Token    | `/services/oauth2/token`       | (Not used in User-Agent) |
| OP Authorization    | Provider-specific              | `/authorize` endpoint    |
| OP Token            | Provider-specific              | Exchange code for tokens |
| OP UserInfo         | Provider-specific              | Get user profile claims  |

## Security Considerations

1. **OP Session Cookies** - Enable silent re-authentication (~15 min intervals)
2. **ID Token Validation** - Salesforce verifies JWT signature from OP
3. **Sub Claim Matching** - UserInfo `sub` must match ID token `sub`
4. **State Parameter** - CSRF protection between all parties
5. **Registration Handler** - Custom Apex to map OP user to Salesforce User

## Salesforce Configuration

### Auth. Provider Setup

```
Setup → Auth. Providers → New
├── Provider Type: OpenID Connect (or specific: Google, Facebook)
├── Consumer Key: [From OP Developer Console]
├── Consumer Secret: [From OP Developer Console]
├── Authorize Endpoint: https://provider.com/authorize
├── Token Endpoint: https://provider.com/token
├── User Info Endpoint: https://provider.com/userinfo (optional)
└── Registration Handler: [Your Apex Class]
```

### Registration Handler Example

```apex
public class SocialLoginHandler implements Auth.RegistrationHandler {
    public User createUser(Id portalId, Auth.UserData data) {
        // Map social identity to Salesforce User
        User u = new User();
        u.Username = data.email + '.social';
        u.Email = data.email;
        u.FirstName = data.firstName;
        u.LastName = data.lastName;
        // ... additional mapping
        return u;
    }

    public void updateUser(Id userId, Id portalId, Auth.UserData data) {
        // Update existing user on subsequent logins
        User u = [SELECT Id FROM User WHERE Id = :userId];
        u.Email = data.email;
        update u;
    }
}
```

## Token Types

| Token            | Issued By     | Purpose                        |
| ---------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------ |
| OP Auth Code     | OIDC Provider | Short-lived, exchanged by SF   |
| OP ID Token      | OIDC Provider | JWT with user identity claims  |
| OP Access Token  | OIDC Provider | Used by SF to call OP UserInfo |
| SF Access Token  | Salesforce    | Used by Client to call SF APIs |
| SF Refresh Token | Salesforce    | Long-lived, refresh SF access  |

## Customization Points

Replace these placeholders:

- `CLIENT_ID` → Your Connected App's Consumer Key
- `CALLBACK_URL` → Your registered callback URL
- `OP_CLIENT_ID` → Consumer Key from Social Provider
- `OP_CLIENT_SECRET` → Consumer Secret from Social Provider
