While this is a frustrating situation, it is not hopeless. ID Tokens can be validated using the metadata provided by discovery document which contains OAuth endpoints, public keys and claims.I work with a lot of professionals who can no longer get access to their LinkedIn account because they signed up for the account under a prior email to which they no longer have access and so the password retrieval email goes to their old email which doesn’t help them one bit. The relying party processing this token should reject it once the expiration time is reached. This is the expiration time of the token. The authorization server’s Identifier of the response Ĭlient_id of Relying party/caller Application guarantees user authentication for itself. With OIDC, you are now able to extract the member details from the ID Token.

The ID Token is represented as a JSON Web Token (JWT). The ID Token is a security token that contains Claims about the Authentication of a member by an Authorization Server when using a Client, and potentially other requested Claims. The primary extension that OIDC adds to OAuth 2.0 is enabling members to be Authenticated using the ID Token data structure. Retrieving Member Profiles Using ID Tokens Select your app from My Apps, navigate to the Products tab, and request the Sign in with LinkedIn V2 product. If your application does not have these permissions provisioned, you can request access through the Developer Portal. Required to retrieve the member's email address.Īfter successful authentication, you will receive the member's access token and ID token. Required to retrieve the member's lite profile including their id, name, and profile picture. Required to indicate the application wants to use OIDC to authenticate the member. We are also introducing new scopes profile and email. When requesting the authorization code in Step 2 of the OAuth 2.0 Guide, make sure you use the OpenID scope openid to get the ID Token. New members logging in to your service for the first time will need to follow the Authenticating with OAuth 2.0 Guide.

Keep in mind Sign In with LinkedIn v2 does not verify user identities and should not be marketed as such.
