I want my sites users to be able to use facebook to create an account and login
I will gather additional details from the user once they have logged in (id, name, link, etc.) and create a local application database entry for the user.
For future logins, how would i handle the fact that their local db record will now exist?
How do I use the facebook login to return and be able to get the local db user details?
Yes, authenticating through other providers (openAuth is a biggy too and more generic) is getting quick common.
Here is the facebook info on how to do it with them:

I'm using Django social auth to log users in using Facebook, Twitter, etc as described, for example here.
Scenario:
A user is logged onto my platform using my native login system. I want them to validate that they own a particular Twitter account without redirecting them to a view where request.user is a new UserSocialAuth associated with their Twitter account. I want to show the user the Twitter login page but, after they provided their credentials, keep them logged in as they were rather than log them in as a different user.
can add more accessible details for your social users indicated here:

I am new to django i made a registration page and login page now i want a user registered to login to my website when a user is logged in i want to associate a session for user which only dies when he logs out or he closes the browser
now whenever the user loads the page even after a week if the browser is not closed he should be granted access.Now the django is storing sessions in its database but will i be able to authenticate the user as different users have different permissions.can someone suggest any resource for my requirement.
I found what i needed http://gavinballard.com/associating-django-users-sessions/ its by creating a custom model extending the default one.
It's possible to use facebook info, and get some information in the local database in the userinhfo api?
Let'me explain, I get name and mail from facebook claim, and I want the userinfo api returns that information, and local information in the local user store.
Becouse I have the user facebook email provisioned in the secondary user store, if the user is in the PRIMARY user store, userinfo works perfectly, there are some way to work with secondary user store. And my secondary user store is a custom implementation of jdbc user store.
Thanks
This is possible to do. What you can do is authenticate the user using wso2 IS. Since you use custom implementation, the claim mapping should be done accordingly. If the claims are not there create custom claims.
Try to use those claims to map the Facebook user information
Or you may want to use facebook SDK to get user information.
I was just wondering if an app exists for Django that helps connecting all 3 social networks, imports basic info, profile picture, but most importantly pushes the post user makes to these three website accounts. I looked into django-social-auth but that just lets you register or login with these websites,not push posts.
django-allauth http://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/ stores basic info for FB/G/Tw (and more), provides basic access to the profile picture, and stores the access tokens in the database.
Whatever you do with the access token is project specific and beyond allauth scope. For example, in order to post to the users wall you need:
The user's permission (you can do this by configuring the proper scope for the Facebook provider, search for SCOPE in the README.txt)
Once the user is logged in via FB, the access token is stored in allauth.socialaccount.models.SocialToken. Simply lookup the token for the user that is logged in.
Then, given the token use whatever method you like to post to the Facebook API on behalf of the user. E.g. https://github.com/pythonforfacebook/facebook-sdk
For some more background on the relation between a Django user and the Social* models, see:
How can I get the user's facebook id with django-allauth?
There are django apps that do what you need individually (Facebook example), but I'm not aware of one that works with multiple.
django-social-auth will get you half way there by obtaining the users information and permission to post to the social network on their behalf.
Once you have users authenticating via django-social-auth you'll have access to the users access token needed to post to respective network on their behalf.
From there, you're going to have to stitch together some additional python modules like the Facebook example above to do the actual posting.
I have been trying to use django-allauth to provide Social registration, but I am having trouble configuring the profiles for the user. There is no documentation of django-allauth which tells
how a django user account is created when a user logs in via a third party such as facebook
What username is assigned to that user and what password is used.
Certain third party providers such as Facebook provide a lot of information about the user such as their name, email etc. so how can we get them and save in the user account/profile
If anybody has used allauth in their projects and can provide some details then it would be really helpful.
I am using django_allauth in my project.
(1) How a django user account is created when a user logs in via a third party such as facebook ?
You should take a look at :
your admin panel and see what happens when somebody logs in.
allauth.facebook.views.login and try to track the login process
It is something like this (in a few words):
When a user logs in your site via his Facebook credentials he is given an access token
This token is saved in the FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKENS table (you can see it in the admin panel)
With this access token and with the help of Facebook GraphApi we know his social_id
When we know his social_id - we can have his Facebook account from our database
If we haven't saved it in the db already - we save the Facebook account in the FACEBOOK_ACCOUNTS table (Facebook Accounts in the admin panel)
Then we create a user in the USERS table with the data present in the Facebook account. (you can see the new user in the Users section in the admin panel)
(2) What username is assigned to that user and what password is used ?
As I mentioned before with the help of Facebook GraphApi we get the username of the Facebook user and it is assigned to the User profile as User.username
(3) Certain third party providers such as Facebook provide a lot of information about the user such as their name, email etc. so how can we get them and save in the user account/profile?
Again - the Facebook GraphApi - it gets you the info you need.
I have integrated django_allauth in my site and it is working properly. I will be happy to answer(if I can) if you have more questions.
EDIT - For the avatar support...
I think you have to take a look at the django_allauth settings and particularly in:
SOCIALACCOUNT_AVATAR_SUPPORT (= 'avatar' in settings.INSTALLED_APPS)
Enable support for django-avatar. When enabled, the profile image of
the user is copied locally into django-avatar at signup.
