Identity Provider gives profile data to registration handler(Apex)

The registration handler manages the User object records. (required to write the code for deciding how to create or update a user)

User

Setup - step1

• Create a Auth. Provider Setting > Administrator > Security Controls > Auth. Providers

Don’t forget to set Registration Handler(you can create automatically by clicking link).

Setup - step2

• Enable Options of Auth. Provider login in Communities’ Login Page setting. Setting > Build > Customize > Communities > Manage Communities >(select your a community) > Login Page

Enable the option that you made from Auth. Provider

Setup for Mobile - step1

• Same as the previous pages’ setup instructions of step1 and step2.

• Create a Connected Apps.

Mobile SDK needs these information.

Setup for Mobile - step2

• Change login domain of your mobile application.

Change Login Host to Custom Host and set the value as Communities domain. *Don’t forget put / and community name after domain.

Finally

You can login using Facebook account!

Remarks

If you want to change behavior of login, i.e. changing how to update user data referring SNS profile and decide how to create a user for registration, please change the registration handler that is automatically created. <http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_auth_plugin.htm>
