Logging users out

You can use the standard {% url auth_logout %} url to log users out of Django. Please note that this will not log users out of third party sites though. When using Facebook Connect, it is recommended to follow the FBConnect developer wiki. See: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Connect/Authorization_Websites#Logging_Out_Users

<a href="#" onclick="FB.Connect.logoutAndRedirect('{% url auth_logout %}')">Logout</a>

HTTPS

If you wish everything to go through HTTPS, set SOCIALREGISTRATION_USE_HTTPS in your settings file to True

Other Information

If you don't wish your users to be redirected to the setup view to create a username but rather have a username generated for them, set SOCIALREGISTRATION_GENERATE_USERNAME in your settings file to True
