Custom Social Identity Provider Configuration Details
When you set up a custom social identity provider, starting with "Preparing IDM", you'll see configuration details in your conf/identityProviders.json file. The following table includes the information shown in the relevant Admin UI pop-up window.
IDM generates the identityProvider-custom.json file only when you configure and enable the custom social identity provider in the Admin UI. Alternatively, you can create that file manually.

|---|---|---|

| Client Secret | clientSecret | Used with the Client ID |
| Scope | scope | An array of strings that allows access to user data; varies by provider. |
| Authorization Endpoint | authorizationEndpoint | Every social identity provider should have an authorization endpoint to authenticate end users. |
| Token Endpoint | tokenEndpoint | Endpoint that receives a one-time authorization code, and returns an access token. |
| User Info Endpoint | userInfoEndpoint | Endpoint that transmits scope-related fields. |
