django-social-auth incorrect authentication service

Question

I was trying to use django-social-auth today, but turned out I got an error everytime I tried to login using it.

I was using the example found in its git master branch, put in my facebook keys, but when I click to login using facebook, the error "Incorrect authentication service" appears.

That also occurs in twitter and orkut logins... does anyone have any idea why that may be happening?

Thanks a lot!

Edit

Yeah, I'm sorry, I forgot to post my code.

The rest of the codes are exactly the same in example in github.com/omab/django-social-auth if you need any other code, just tell me.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

In my case the problem was that I had FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET instead of FACEBOOK_API_SECRET. It was due to the fact that I migrated from django-facebook to django-social-auth.

Answer 2

It may be you don't have the FACEBOOK_APP_ID or FACEBOOK_API_SECRET set.
