Login to Drupal using LinkedIn

Definitely! Not sure it's possible yet though.

Please describe your goal here. I am about to start using this module and will have to automate logging into LinkedIn from Drupal. If what I have to do satisfies your need, I would be happy to supply a patch.

I think the idea was to provide a "Sign in with LinkedIn" style option, like the fbconnect module does with Facebook, so site users can use LinkedIn to authenticate with Drupal:
http://drupal.org/project/fbconnect

That was how I read it, anyway. So perhaps if you post a patch it should be in a new issue, just to keep things clean? (Though the patch would be most welcome, I'm sure!)

Re-titling to reflect my assumption.

this would be cool.. +1.. actually thought this was what this module was for

i could throw some money at this if people are working on adding this feature.

ok, maybe i am confused, the project page states:

"Per-user OAuth authentication between LinkedIn and Drupal"

it his not what we are talking about here?

For me, at least, it's the other way around. Signing in to Drupal (in my case a sub-site) requires logging in through the main corporate site (with a proprietary method). Then I have LinkedIn information in the profile and will need to login to LI with that data.

@liquidcms, please don't mess with priority just because you want something. It is a 'normal' feature request - yes, it would be cool. But it's not 'major'.

It's done.

It's not clear to me which is done. Can I now login to LI from Drupal, or logging into Drupal with LI credentials? Some people want the latter. I want the former (so I can do #859624: Can I publish to LinkedIn with this module?).

You can not login to LinkedIn from Drupal, and it's very unlikely it will be possible any soon. It does not prevent #859624: Can I publish to LinkedIn with this module? as LinkedIn API uses OAuth for authentication, not a standard login.

+1 for login using LinkedIn credentials

We (LiquidCMS) recently contracted the LinkedIn project maintainers to add the "authenticate on your Drupal site using Linkedin login" and are just launching a site which uses this. It seems to be working well for us so far. I am sure they will be releasing that code to the project very soon.

@bellesmanieres : it is possible to use linkedin Oauth API to login in drupal by using OAuth authenticate.

The module oauthconnector was designed to Login in Drupal from external Oauth providers. It has been tested with twitter, linkedin, digg.

For this feature (Login to Drupal using LinkedIn), it's perhaps a good idea to integrate oauthconnector with this module ?

You've misread the posts. The module *does* permit login TO Drupal using LinkedIn authentication. What bellesmanieres is saying is the other way is not possible at this time (login to LinkedIn using Drupal credentials).

The feature request, Login to Drupal using LinkedIn, is closed and fixed in -dev. Login to LinkedIn using Drupal is not currently possible.

login to LinkedIn using Drupal credentials

Still not an accurate assessment of what I want. I have a LinkedIn user name (and potentially a password). I want to use that to log into LI so that I can post some content there. See #859624: Can I publish to LinkedIn with this module? for more about my request. It may be a moot point for me now.

As explained in #10, that's not the way you post content on LI. You are not supposed to store LI credentials and there is no way to use from any other site than linkedin.com anyway. That what OAuth is all about : users login to LI using their LI credentials, and your Drupal site gets a access token for them. You can then use this token to perform various actions on LI from Drupal, such as posting content.

When I get that far along, then I'll see how to make it work.

Hi,
I am not sure if this is completed and fixed. I've been looking to get this working but not been lucky so far. Here is where I am stuck:
1) Installed Linkedin Integration Module (working)
2) Created the app, got the key, and done with settings.
3) See "Log in with Linkedin" on Home Page
4) Problem1 :After logging in with Linkedin, I get a message saying that "Sorry. There is no account associated with this LinkedIn account. Please Login or Register first, and then link both accounts from your preferences settings."
As evident from the message that I cannot login drupal with just Linkedin userid. I need to create a user on drupal and then link it.
So has this been fixed?
5) Problem 2: At this point I am creating a new user and then linking the account with LinkedIn after that. Once I do this, I see that I get LinkedIn Profile data. Now I am trying to store this into user account in drupal. I have already created fields with Advance Profile Kit. How do I store data retrieved from LinkedIn profile into user profile on drupal site?

Thanks is advance.

I am trying to do exactly what maddynator is asking about in #19, so would be really interested in knowing if this is possible?

Thanks
Paul

Are you talking about a way to automatically populate Linkedin data into the Drupal profile page? That would be nice

I'm interested in auto-populating (then saving) LinkedIn profile data after logging in to Drupal with LinkedIn credentials. Is this possible yet? It's been almost a year since the last post in this thread. An update would be appreciated :) Thank you!

I too am interested in #19 and trying to do the same but with little joy.

Any progress on this?
