UPGRADE # 4
Compatibility
For Google Authentication, you need to change the redirect URL in the Google Application.
It must be like follows: http://server/<base_url>/oauth/gam/signin
See SAC 38396
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When using Graph API and shifting to version 2.4 from a lower FB version, it should be borne in mind that FB returns a different
GUID per user when the application is changed. This means that in the case of a user already registered in the GAM with a
FB app < 2.4 and accessing the application following a change to FB 2.4, the FB will return a different GUID for that user.
The GAM carries out a control to avoid the creation of a different user, in this case for most scenarios.
See SAC 38397
