Vkontakte Social Identity Provider Configuration Details
You can set up the Vkontakte social identity provider through the Admin UI or in a conf/identityProvider-vkontakte.json file. IDM generates the identityProvider-vkontakte.json file when you configure and enable this social identity provider in the Admin UI. Alternatively, you can create the file manually.
