Hello I am having a hard time with the simplest of of tasks. 

I want to link a facebook account with an existing device authenticated account  no matter what I do I get two accounts in the player:

What I do is  : 

1.  login with DeviceAutnetificationRequest 
   
2. login with  FacebookConnectRequest in the same session 
3. Expect to still see one  player in player collection with ( as seen in the last response "newPlayer": false)

{
 "@class": ".AuthenticationResponse",
 "authToken": "<auth token>",
 "displayName": "Ovidiu Buligan",
 "newPlayer": false,
 "scriptData": null,
 "userId": "55199e33e4b0e4d9397c1a4e"
}
{
 "@class": ".FacebookConnectRequest",
 "accessToken": "<access token>",
 "doNotLinkToCurrentPlayer": false,
 "errorOnSwitch": false,
 "segments": {
  "PROFILE": "P1"
 },
 "switchIfPossible": false
}
{
 "@class": ".AuthenticationResponse",
 "authToken": "0b9a4b69-ac59-4d53-b4f6-e98d724c1965",
 "displayName": "displayName",
 "newPlayer": true,
 "scriptData": null,
 "userId": "55199e601b3f58c687ed6a87"
}
{
 "@class": ".DeviceAuthenticationRequest",
 "deviceId": "deviceId",
 "deviceModel": "deviceModel",
 "deviceName": "deviceName",
 "deviceOS": "wp8",
 "deviceType": "deviceType",
 "displayName": "displayName",
 "operatingSystem": "operatingSystem",
 "segments": {
  "PROFILE": "P1"
 }
}

It work correctly. Just be sure that when you do your tests, you don't have already some old records in the externalAuthentication collection.

My mistake was that I was using the test scene, and I authenticate directly with facebook. Then, to test the device authentication, I deleted the user, but not the record in the externalAuthentication, so the system was still considering that facebook account already bound to a different player. And as soon I register with facebook it creates another player.

Here too. News?

Hi, I'm having the same problem, is there any solution?

Thanks

Thank you very much four your unconditioned effort .

I will raise a ticket to  gamesparks  and link to this thread.

Hi Ovidiu,

             Extremely sorry that I couldn't test your scenario as I was travelling last week. I tried posting from mobile but TestHarness isn't proper on mobile for cross checking some api's.

I tried the same steps, And what I noticed is same. Its creating a new player on facebook linking. 

Please raise a ticket from your side to GameSparks and let me know the result. It would be of great help for others if you share here the details.

Thanks,

Ayyappa.
