Oracle Apex Social Sign in

In this post I want to show you how I used the Oracle Apex Social Sign in feature for my Oracle Apex app. Try it by visiting my web app beachmap.info.

Oracle Apex Social Sign in gives you the ability to use oAuth2 to authenticate and sign in users to your Oracle Apex apps using social media like Google, Facebook and others.

Google and Facebook are the prominent authentication methods currently available, others will probably follow. Social sign in is easy to use, you don't need to code, all you have to do is to obtain project credentials from say Google and then pass them to the Oracle Apex framework and put the sign in button to the page which will require authentication and the flow will kick in. I would say at most a 3 step operation. Step by step instructions are available in the blog posts below.
