Module Description
This project is part of the Drupal Social Initiative and is based on the Social API.

Social Auth LinkedIn allows users to register and login to your Drupal site with their LinkedIn account. The module allows websites to request any scopes, so any tasks requiring authentication with LinkedIn services can be performed. This module is based on Social Auth and Social API projects

This module adds the path user/login/linkedin which redirects the user to LinkedIn for authentication.

After LinkedIn has returned the user to your site, the module compares the user id or email address provided by LinkedIn. If the user has previously registered using LinkedIn or your site already has an account with the same email address, the user is logged in. If not, a new user account is created. Also, a LinkedIn account can be associated with an authenticated user.

Login process can be initiated from the "LinkedIn" button in the Social Auth block. Alternatively, site builders can place (and theme) a link to user/login/linkedin wherever on the site.
