LinkedIn social sign in
You can enable users to sign up and sign in using their LinkedIn credentials. To enable this, you’ll need a LinkedIn app and some developer know-how.
Get the Kinde Callback URL
Link to this section- Sign in to Kinde.
- Go to the Settings page and select Authentication.
- In the Social connections section, select Add connection.
- In the window that opens, select LinkedIn, then select Save.
- On the LinkedIn tile, select the Configure link.
- In the Callback URL section:
- If you use Kinde’s domain as your default, copy the Kinde domain URL.
- If you use a custom domain (and want to use it as the callback) select the Use custom domain instead switch and copy the Custom domain URL.
- Use the copied Callback URL to set up the app, see below.
Create a LinkedIn app and set up
Link to this section- Go to the LinkedIn developer space and select Create app.
- Complete the details, including name, logo, company LinkedIn page, privacy policy link, etc.
- Select Create app.
- In the Products tab, select Request access on the Sign in with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect tile.
- In the dialog that opens, agree to the terms and conditions to continue. You can now view the endpoints.
Configure your LinkedIn app
Link to this section- Go to the Auth tab.
- In the Auth 2.0 settings area, select the edit icon next to the Authorized redirect URLs for your app.
- Paste the Callback URL you copied from Kinde in the first procedure.
- In the same tab, copy the Client ID and Client Secret and paste them in a text file or somewhere you can easily copy them.
For additional help, see the LinkedIn docs.
Add LinkedIn credentials to Kinde
Link to this section- In Kinde, go to Settings > Authentication.
- On the LinkedIn tile, select Configure.
- Paste the Client ID and Client secret from the LinkedIn app into the relevant fields.
- Select if you want to treat this connection as a trusted provider. A trusted provider is one that guarantees the email they issue is verified. We recommend leaving this off for maximum security.
- Select which applications will allow LinkedIn SSO.
- Select Save.
Users will now see LinkedIn as an option to sign up and sign in to the selected applications.
