LinkedIn

In this tutorial, we'll set up LinkedIn authentication for Conduit.

Step 1: Set up LinkedIn authentication​

To set up LinkedIn authentication, we'll need to add the LinkedIn provider to our project.

Creating a LinkedIn Web App​

To create a LinkedIn Web App, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the LinkedIn Developer Portal and log in with your LinkedIn account.
  2. Click Create App.
  3. Enter a name for your app and click Create App.
  4. Click Edit next to OAuth 2.0 settings.
  5. Add your_redirect_url to the Authorized redirect URLs field.
  6. Click Save.

Adding the LinkedIn Provider​

NOTE
Do not forget to configure the LinkedIn provider through the Admin Panel.
Go to the Authentication -> SIGN IN METHODS and select the LinkedIn provider.
Then, fill the required fields you obtained from the LinkedIn App.

Authenticate with LinkedIn​

To begin authenticating with LinkedIn you request a redirect url with the proper scopes

Request
curl --location --request GET 'http://localhost:3000/authentication/linkedin'
Response
{
    "result": "https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=123456789&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2Fauthentication%2Flinkedin%2Fcallback&state=eyJpZCI6IjYzN
}

Open a browser and navigate to the url returned to you from Conduit.
Now the /hook/authentication route has been triggered.
Once your browser has been redirected, your authentication has been completed.
