    Custom Logout URL

    Leave blank


    Custom Error URLLeave blank

    User Provisioning Enabled

    Leave blank

    Info

    If you want to enable Just In Time provisioning, you need to select this configuration. When this configuration is enabled, WSO2 Identity Server creates a user in Salesforce, if the user doesn't have an FB account and signs up with Facebook. Therefore, you don't have to worry about creating a user in salesforce everytime a new user needs to be added.

  16. Click Save.
