Azure Active Directory B2C: Provide sign-up and sign-in to consumers with LinkedIn accounts

Create a LinkedIn application

To use LinkedIn as an identity provider in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) B2C, you need to create a LinkedIn application and supply it with the right parameters. You need a LinkedIn account to do this. If you don’t have one, you can get it at https://www.linkedin.com/.

1. Go to the LinkedIn Developers website and sign in with your LinkedIn account credentials.

2. Click My Apps in the top menu bar and then click Create Application.

   

3. In the Create a New Application form, fill in the relevant information (Company Name, Name, Description, Application Logo URL, Application Use, Website URL, Business Email and Business Phone).

4. Agree to the LinkedIn API Terms of Use and click Submit.

   

5. Copy the values of Client ID and Client Secret. (You can find them under Authentication Keys.) You will need both of them to configure LinkedIn as an identity provider in your tenant.

   [!NOTE] Client Secret is an important security credential.

6. Enter https://login.microsoftonline.com/te/{tenant}/oauth2/authresp in the Authorized Redirect URLs field (under OAuth 2.0). Replace {tenant} with your tenant's name (for example, contoso.onmicrosoft.com). Click Add, and then click Update. The {tenant} value is case-sensitive.

   

Configure LinkedIn as an identity provider in your tenant

1. Follow these steps to navigate to the B2C features blade on the Azure portal.
2. On the B2C features blade, click Identity providers.
3. Click +Add at the top of the blade.
4. Provide a friendly Name for the identity provider configuration. For example, enter "LI".
5. Click Identity provider type, select LinkedIn, and click OK.
6. Click Set up this identity provider and enter the client ID and client secret of the LinkedIn application that you created earlier.
7. Click OK and then click Create to save your LinkedIn configuration.
