django-social-auth incorrect authentication service - django

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!

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.

Answer 3

Well, without seeing your configuration this will simply be a shot in the dark. But the django-social-auth code has this:
def complete_process(request, backend):
"""Authentication complete process"""
backend = get_backend(backend, request, request.path)
if not backend:
return HttpResponseServerError('Incorrect authentication service')
...
So, offhand, I would guess that you don't have the right backend configured or, at the very least, Django can't find it. Make sure you have the appropriate backend configured in AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS and that you've obtained the required OAuth keys from the service you want to use.
Keep in mind, too, that this error occurs in the django-social-auth code in a few places, but always when the specified backend can't be retrieved.
