Ruckus uses OAuth2.0 for all of our social media authorization. Ruckus is acting as a pass through in this case. The client authentication takes place in the respective social media servers such as facebook/linkedin/google etc.The login provider sends a OAuth2.0 token back to Ruckus saying whether the user is authorized or not to use your service. The username/password is NEVER shared to Ruckus as the social media accounts has their own terms and conditions regarding that with their clients.
