Django allauth custom social account provider doesn't activate

[twkrol]

I've installed django allauth with social providers, and it works.
Now I've created a custom social account provider based on Microsoft Graph, just created a new app, added code from socialaccounts/providers/microsoft and changed adapter and provider classes names to my own, as well as the provider id. Now it shows up on the login/signup pages but when I click on it to be redirected to microsoft's authentication page it doesn't work and goes back to login page, without errors.

How to fix it to let my custom social account provider to be working?

I am sorry, but this does not clearly point to a bug in allauth -- it is likely a deployment/config issue, but it's not actionable on this end. Closing.

FWIW -- if you check all the redirects, it should redirect to Microsoft -- doesn't it do that?

[twkrol]

well, tried many ways...
the social url is ok:
http://localhost:8000/accounts/<my_provider_id>/login/?process=login
but it doesn't redirect to microsoft's auth page, and no errors

What does your social app configuration look like? And what does that link do, does it immediately redirect to the login, or are there other redirects in between? Have a look at your network inspector....

Sorry, I closed this discussion as I mistakenly assumed it was filed as an issue. A discussion is fine for this -- reopening.

Reverting things to be simple:

• created a new app in my django project
• copied there files from: allauth/socialaccout/providers/microsoft
• changed provider id to something else, say 'microsoft2'
• registered app in django and added the configuration through admin
• now I can see the social app login link on the login form: http://localhost:8000/accounts/microsoft2/login/?process=login
• but the link doesn't work: just go 302 Found from the server then reopens http://localhost:8000/accounts/login/ page

The code is just a copy of microsoft provider but with different id, and it won't work. Did I miss any step?
