Facebook Integration using OIDC for SSO Login
Hello,
I want to implement Single sign on with facebook as IDP using OpenID Connect protocol.
Can anyone help me with the approach and configurations of Authentication Service for Facebook?
Also, does facebook uses OpenID Connect Protocol? OR which protocol is used for Single Sign on with Facebook?

Facebook's login mechanism/protocol is not based on OpenID Connect. Facebook uses a proprietary extension of OAuth 2.0(i.e., Facebook connect) but it is not the standardized one that OpenID Connect specifies. Hence there's no point in expecting Facebook to publish OpenID Connect Discovery documents, unlike Google and Salesforce that do adhere to the standard.

Thank you so much for your response. I totally agree with your point.
So, I guess there is no way we can integrate with Facebook for SSO, right?
Or if possible please suggest or guide me with the same.
Thank you.

Hi Jimit, I too searched a lot for the Facebook Authentication using Open ID Connect but I didn't find it.
