Passport strategy for authenticating with Linkedin access tokens using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Linkedin in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Linkedin authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
P.S. The special use case for this library is to use with ember-cli-simple-auth-torii, are very similar to passport-facebook-token. There is a passport-linkedin-token exists which isn't worked with OAuth2 and can't get user keeping client-side flow.
$ npm install passport-linkedin-oauth-token
The Linkedin authentication strategy authenticates users using a Linkedin account and OAuth token.
passport.use(new LinkedinTokenStrategy({
clientID: LINKEDIN_APP_ID,
clientSecret: LINKEDIN_APP_SECRET
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ linkedinId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));app.post('/auth/linkedin/token',
passport.authenticate('linkedin-oauth-token'),
function (req, res) {
// do something with req.user
res.send(req.user? 200 : 401);
}
);(The MIT License)
