Linkedin authentication setup

Setup linkedin user authentication using OAuth 2.0.

 

Steps to Authenticate User

Step 1. Register your application
Register your application with LinkedIn. Specify a list of OAuth 2 redirect URLs by submitting a comma separated list of absolute URLs for your redirections else your requests to generate OAuth 2 tokens (Step 3 below) will fail. We strongly encourage using HTTPS.

Fill in https://YOURDOMAIN/engine?service=session&cmd=login&method=linkedin
or http://YOURDOMAIN/engine?service=session&cmd=login&method=linkedin if no valid ssl certificate available for YOURDOMAIN

Step 2. Save your API Key and Secret Key
After registration, you will receive a unique API Key and a Secret Key. API Key helps us identify your application and lets you make API calls. For the safety of your application please do not share your Secret Key.

Step 3. Store API Key and secret key in your CrossmarX application blueprint.

For now this can be done by  CrossmarX employees only.

Step 4. Call login url

Use /engine?service=session&cmd=login&method=linkedin.
