This can be done from the account settings under "Settings -> Connections -> Register an OAuth client application -> Register a new application" on the GNU Social server.
During the registration of the OAuth client remember the following:
* Application names must be unique on the StatusNet site, so we recommend a Name of 'friendica-nnnn', replace 'nnnn' with a random number or your website name.
* Application names must be unique on the GNU Social site, so we recommend a Name of 'friendica-nnnn', replace 'nnnn' with a random number or your website name.
* there is no callback url
* register a desktop client
* with read & write access
* the Source URL should be the URL of your Friendica server

The Friendica/Facebook connector
---
###Configuration
First, register an API key for your site on [Facebook](developer.facebook.com).
This requires a Facebook account, and may require additional authentication in the form of credit card or mobile phone verification.
We'd be very happy if you include "Friendica" in the application name to increase name recognition.
The Friendica icons are also present in the images directory and may be uploaded as a Facebook app icon.
Use images/friendica-16.jpg for the Icon and images/friendica-128.jpg for the logo.
The url should be your site URL with a trailing slash.
You **may** be required to provide a privacy and/or terms of service URL.
Navigate to Set Web->Site URL & Domain -> Website Settings.
Set Site URL to yoursubdomain.yourdomain.com.
Set Site Domain to your yourdomain.com.
Install the Facebook plugin on your Friendica site at 'admin/plugins'.
You should then see a link for Facebook under 'Plugin Features' on the sidebar of the admin panel.
Select it.
Enter the App-ID and App Secret that Facebook gave you.
Change any other settings as desired.
On Friendica, each member who wishes to use the Facebook connector should visit the Facebook Settings section of their "Settings->Connector Settings" page, and click 'Install Facebook Connector'.
Choose the appropriate settings for your usage and privacy requirements.
This will ask you to log into Facebook and grant permission to the plugin to do its stuff.
Allow it to do so.
You're done.
To turn it off visit the Connector Settings page again and 'Remove Facebook posting'.
Videos and embeds will not be posted if there is no other content.
Links and images will be converted to a format suitable for the Facebook API and long posts truncated - with a link to view the full post.
Facebook contacts will also not be able to view "private" photos, as they are not able to authenticate to your site.
We will address this in a future release.
