Cannot figure out how to associate multiple auth providers

[jacksonofalltrades]

Hi,

I've read through the docs and the instructions for getting things set up and working with any one given auth provider (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) are very clear.

However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to associate multiple auth provider logins with a single user. For starters, if a user is logged in with any one, what should I show? A link for all other auth methods? (e.g., if logged in with Facebook, stlll show a link for LinkedIn login maybe as "Connect with your LinkedIn account" or something)

I'm particularly interested in supporting native login as well and allowing the native login to be associated with a Facebook and LinkedIn login (I want user to be able to create their initial account from any of these three, and then associate the other two if desired).

I'm unclear how this works, please help!

Thanks,
-Dave

@jacksonofalltrades, the usual way is to provide a page with the different association options to a logged in user, once they associate the account, they can login with any of them.

I case this is still unclear and @jacksonofalltrades needs an exemple, here is a profile page where currently associated accounts are shown to the user, and a block to associate new ones.

NOTE: the templates use latest python-social-auth official version, but still font-awesome 3.2.1. Here is a screenshot (sorry it's in french I've got a language switch bug on the profile page…):

@Karmak23, that's a perfect example, thanks.
