Configure LinkedIn OpenID Connect login for Discourse

[ted (Ted Johansson)]

Configuration

1. Visit Developers | LinkedIn and click on the nice Create app button in the middle of the screen and follow the process it walks you through.

• There is a handy link to their help pages there/
• You’ll need an appropriate LinkedIn Page; this cannot be changed later so make sure you have one ready.

2. Enable the Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect product.
   

   

3. Under Auth, grab the credentials:
   

   

4. On your Discourse site, use the credentials to configure the following site settings:

• linkedin_oidc_client_id
• linkedin_oidc_client_secret

5. Also under Auth, add an authorized redirect URL, e.g.:
   https://example.com/auth/linkedin_oidc/callback
   (replacing the https with http and example.com with the full qualified domain/subdomain of your Discourse site.)
   

   

6. Enable the authentication method in your Discourse instance using the enable_linkedin_oidc_logins site setting.
