How do I configure the new facebook authentication to allow existing users to associate their accounts with their facebook account?  Currently if they click on "log in with facebook" it creates a new user in DNN.

Wow, that's good to know - that it doesn't associate existing user account.
I was waiting for the new user manual, to verify this, before installing 6.2
Currently I use the FB login from InteractiveWebs.com, and it allows you to associate an existing account.
I was excited about the DNN FB. Twitter, Google login but it sounds like users could end up with 4 profiles. Not cool!

DNN guys, when will this be fixed?

Our initial implementation of these auth providers is to make as simple as possible for admins to configure and for users to use.

So, you are correct - there is no option to associate with existing users.

It is under consideration as an enhancement.

If it's only for new uesrs, shouldn't it be sign up with your FB account and thereafter if the users is signed in his FB account he/she is automatically signed in DNN website?

Anyway...

How do you enable authentication providers? I have enabled them but they don't show up on the login page. It's a fresh dnn 6.2 install and there are no other modules on that website.

Thanks.
