# Authentication through LinkedIn |
||||
|
||||
## Overview |
||||
|
||||
One of the login options for dex uses the LinkedIn OAuth2 flow to identify the end user through their LinkedIn account. |
||||
|
||||
When a client redeems a refresh token through dex, dex will re-query LinkedIn to update user information in the ID Token. To do this, __dex stores a readonly LinkedIn access token in its backing datastore.__ Users that reject dex's access through LinkedIn will also revoke all dex clients which authenticated them through LinkedIn. |
||||
|
||||
## Configuration |
||||
|
||||
Register a new application via `My Apps -> Create Application` ensuring the callback URL is `(dex issuer)/callback`. For example if dex is listening at the non-root path `https://auth.example.com/dex` the callback would be `https://auth.example.com/dex/callback`. |
||||
|
||||
The following is an example of a configuration for `examples/config-dev.yaml`: |
||||
|
||||
```yaml |
||||
connectors: |
||||
- type: linkedin |
||||
# Required field for connector id. |
||||
id: linkedin |
||||
# Required field for connector name. |
||||
name: LinkedIn |
||||
config: |
||||
# Credentials can be string literals or pulled from the environment. |
||||
clientID: $LINKEDIN_APPLICATION_ID |
||||
clientSecret: $LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET |
||||
redirectURI: http://127.0.0.1:5556/dex/callback |
||||
``` |
