Using the LinkedIn authentication source with SimpleSAMLphp

Remember to configure authsources.php, with both Consumer key and secret. Optionally you can set which attributes are requested from LinkedIn, the list of available attributes can be found here https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/fields.

To get an API key and a secret, register the application at:

Set the callback URL to be:

  • http://sp.example.org/simplesaml/module.php/authlinkedin/linkback.php

Replace sp.example.org with your hostname.

Testing authentication

On the SimpleSAMLphp frontpage, go to the Authentication tab, and use the link:

  • Test configured authentication sources

Then choose the linkedin authentication source.

Expected behaviour would then be that you are sent to LinkedIn and asked to login. There is no consent screen for attribute release.
