  Configuring Open edX is very similar for Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Azure. In the  lms.env.json  file, change the value of  FEATURES  >  ENABLE_THIRD_PARTY_AUTH  to  true  (it is  false  by default). If necessary, make sure that the correct backend is specified. If you are using Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Active Directory, open the  lms.env.json  file and look for the  THIRD_PARTY_AUTH_BACKENDS  list. By default, the file does not contain this list. If the  lms.env.json  file does not contain the  THIRD_PARTY_AUTH_BACKENDS  list, you do not have to complete any additional steps. If the  lms.env.json  file contains the  THIRD_PARTY_AUTH_BACKENDS  list, add the backend for the applicable IdP to the list. For Google, add  "social_core.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2" . For Facebook, add  "social_core.backends.facebook.FacebookOAuth2" . For LinkedIn, add  "social_core.backends.linkedin.LinkedinOAuth2" . For Azure Active Directory, add "social_c
