Once again, the module documentation is woefully inadequate.

How do you setup Oauth for the Linkedin module?
The project page directs you to the web page. But, it doesn't tell you anything. The Linkedin page says to activate after Oauth installed.

Install oauth 6.x-2.02, then enable it and the LinkedIn module. Configure both via the Site Configuration pull-down, setup oauth for RSA. When configuring LinkedIn, follow the module README file to get keys and input into config page. When done, edit your account, add linkedin to the URL (/user/65/edit/linkedin, for example) and click the button that appears - this will launch LinkedIn and ask for permission to access your new application. If you give the permission, you will go back to your account and see the LinkedIn profile tab on the my account page.

This does work, just implemented with Drupal 7.12, and you do have to give it developer keys as stated above. The key note is that this will allow you to use LinkedIn token to login to an existing Drupal account, or if one does not exist it will take you to the registration page and then you have to create a new Drupal account to link it to.

See documentation here: http://drupal.org/node/919412

There is an open issue with people asking if it can automatically create a new drupal user upon logging in for the first time via LinkedIn. (This is what the Twitter one does).
