- LinkedIn Integration
Regarding the integration between OX App Suite and LinkedIn, we would like to notify you about an upcoming LinkedIn API change, which is used by the App Suite app server. We were informed by LinkedIn this week that LinkedIn will restrict access to parts of their currently available API for all existing users and partners by May 15th. LinkedIn will only allow access to the full API, if you sign up for the LinkedIn partner program. Read More: https://forum.open-xchange.com/showthread.php?9261
- Facebook Integration
Regarding the integration between OX App Suite and Facebook, we would like to notify you about some Facebook API changes which affect the integration between OX App Suite and the Facebook social network. Specifically Facebook has reduced the ability to access the Fetch Contact Data from the Graph API. This does not change the ability for OX App Suite to display Facebook content on the portal it does affect the Contacts module. Due to these new restrictions OX App Suite is no longer able to provide a stable way for users to enhance the address book using the Facebook API. This means that the subscription capability of the OX App Suite Contacts module, from Facebook accounts, will be disabled. Existing content will not be affected.

Furthermore, the "com.openexchange.ajax.login.randomToken" setting will be removed from the "login.properties" file, and the "login?action=login" call will never contain the "random" token. We strongly encourage users of the Random Token login method to change their custom login implementations and use one of the supported methods: http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?ti...gin_variations
