Hi folks,

I know that it is possible to use Google, Twitter, Facebook and etc account to sign in to the Discourse. But I was wondering how I can set up Linkedin account to do so? Sorry if it is a dumb question. I am quite newbie in such things.

There is a plugin that enables this ability now.  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse-plugin-linkedin-auth](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-plugin-linkedin-auth)

> [@Discourse LinkedIn Authentication](https://meta.discourse.org/t/linkedin-oauth2-plugin/46818):
>
> mega LinkedIn has updated their authentication to OpenID Connect. New LinkedIn applications will not be able to use the old authentication method. This plugin is now deprecated, and support for LinkedIn OpenID Connect is included in Discourse core. There is no need to install the plugin separately.

Should be, it is an official plugin now. It was adopted by Discourse a while ago.
