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.
