Please note: <appid> should be replaced with your application ID located above the field.

Please note: <appid> should be replaced with your application ID located above the field.
Optional: If you are planning on configuring a domain alias (CNAME), please replace 'socialize.gigya.com' with your alias sub domain (CNAME value). i.e. https://[YOUR-ALIAS-SUB-DOMAIN]/GS/GSLogin.aspx?appId=<appid>
Phase 2 - Configuring Facebook's Application Keys in Gigya's Website
- Go to the Dashboard section of Gigya's website.
Note: If you are not signed in to Gigya, please go to http://www.gigya.com/ and sign in. - Press the "Site Settings" button that corresponds to the domain you wish to configure. You will be redirected to the "Site Settings" page.

- Click the "Save Settings" button (located at the lower right-hand corner of the page).
That's it, Facebook configuration is complete! Please note that it might take up to 10 minutes for our system to become synchronized with Facebook.
