I am using createCustomer API to create a customer in XTRF and we are able to create a Customer using "customer Name". Here the customer id and password auto generated by XTRF.
We are using signup functionality in our application, which will create a customer in xtrf. I have to send the login details to the customer email address. please provide us any information on this.
Is there any way to get the customer user name and password, when it is created?
Obtaining customer user name and password is not available in XTRF WebService API.
In the future we plan adding a method for setting customer password.

If any body can reply, that will be helpful,

That's a privacy issue to be able to fetch user's email and other information I think you would need to create an app that allows sign in or login then get any user that had signed in to your app, details for example if I sign in to your app you would need to get my email address you can do that using a simple database tool then convert that into an API by performing a post request once data has being sent to the database.
I have used facebook api to fetch details of group members.
using api i can fetch user first name, last name but not able to fetch email address.
this is code
$member_profile = $facebook->api('/group_id/members?fields=id,first_name,last_name,email,gender,birthday');
You either did not authorize with the email permission or the email is not confirmed in the Facebook account - it´s also possible that the user did not login with his email, afaik you can login with a phone number too. In general, you can never be 100% sure to get an email from the user.
Debug your Access Token and make sure the email permission shows up: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
I am creating user registration page with email activation link in Laravel 5.1.
I send activation link to entered correct email address. How to find activation
link is click from correct email address where I send mail
To give you an idea how this could work:
When user registers generate a per user unique token for the new user (e.g. 60be22f4-e849-4676-b64b-c3493e8709e0)
Save this unique token in your database along with the user name and password
Send this unique token along with your activation email (e.g. as a link: http://my-domain.com/user/confirm/60be22f4-e849-4676-b64b-c3493e8709e0)
When a user clicks this link search for the unique id in your user table and mark this user as active/confirmed.
There's a pretty simple way of doing this:
Store a 'secret' for each user in your database, this should be generated on the first creation and shouldn't change for the life of the user in the system. Secret could be a simple string like 'ajchdu8'
Set up an activation route that contains the user ID and their 'activation signature' like so http://yourdomain.com/activate/{user_id}/{signature}
Create a mechanism for generating and comparing those signatures and use the secret for each user as a way of making user only that user can activate their account (or who ever you give the URL to anyways)
The signature is basically just a hash of things that we know about the user but doesn't change in the database so it could just be a hash of user id and their secret then by providing the user id in the link you can look up in the database the user by the id to get their secret and any other details you require to verify the signature.
I have an existing website in MVC4.
Now I am looking forward to upgrade it to MVC5.
I wanna use External Authentication, however, what I want is that when use select any of the External Login option (Except Twitter, I am not going to use it), all I want is to get his/her Name and email address.
I don't wanna store anything in the database with the username or other details associated.
I just need to grab the Name and email address and if it matches with existing email, user will be logged in, otherwise, new account will be created.
It will be great if anyone can help me with this with small tutorial, to read Name, email and other extra details from the user, instead of adding it to the database.
We are looking to integrate Facebook, Google, Twitter into an existing site.
Unlike most implementations, the user MUST be a customer prior being able to login with Facebook, Google, etc. The current database design is as follows;
userid | username | password | customerno
So the idea is if a user decides to login using Facebook, we need to validate that they are also an existing customer using their customer number which is alphanumeric. Once authenticated, they are no longer required to authenticate using their customer number. If they are not yet a customer, they will first need to create an account with us.
Do I need to design a new table for each provider? If so what should the design look like?
How do I authenticate a user who has logged in using Facebook with their existing customer number?
How do I authenticate a user who has logged in using Facebook with their existing customer number?
That depends on what criteria you have to recognize someone as a customer …
IMHO the best and easiest way to connect Facebook users to existing accounts on some other page is the email address. If you don’t have that, and see no other reliable way to identify someone as a customer with the data that Facebook can provide – then maybe you could just ask the user for their customer id on your site before connecting their Facebook account.
As for your database design – if you read the email address on every connect/login, then you could just look that up to find your user id. Otherwise, you could either add extra fields to your existing user table, where you save someone’s Facebook/Google/... user id. But if you want to use multiple services, maybe it’d be better to put this data into a second table like
userid | foreign_user_id | type
where type would be one of 'facebook', 'google' etc. to identify the login provider that foreign_user_id comes from.
