ok thank you very much, I have used this view and it worked perfectly with existing users.

@dsa_view()

def register_by_access_token(request, backend, *args, **kwargs):

    access_token = request.GET['access_token']

    user = backend.do_auth(access_token)

    if user and user.is_active:

        login(request, user)

    return redirect('/')

But how could I do to create a new user with remote facebook?.

[Matías Aguirre]

That depends a lot on your project, if the app is native (or installed in the
mobile), then I guess you should check some libraries that do client-side
authentication for Facebook.

If your app runs in a browser, you can redirect the client to /login/facebook/
without troubles.

Makes sense?

Ok 

My app is native, I have everything running on the client side, I have access to acces_token, id of facebook, but do not know how to send the data in a view to create a new user.

This is possible? Create a facebook users remotely?

Yeah, the solution is on the thread I've mentioned, basically set the view (or
a similar one) in the snipped in that thread under a URL that you will call
from your client (never did native stuff on android, but I guess you will be
able to call an URL). Just pass the access_token and the user should be
created.

this  is my code.

urls.py

url(r'^auth/(?P<backend>[^/]+)/$','login.views.register_by_access_token'),

views.py

@dsa_view()

def register_by_access_token(request, backend, *args, **kwargs):

    access_token = request.GET['access_token']

    user = backend.do_auth(access_token)

    if user and user.is_active:

        login(request, user)

    return redirect('/')

This is the URL to call:

http://myapp.com:8000/auth/facebook/?access_token=AAAHJOsKTL8gBAJb27Da5H

but not creating the user, I do something wrong?

Thanks!!

Doesn't seems that you are doing something wrong, no errors or exceptions?
