Login with LinkedIn

To enable LinkedIn Auth for your project, you need to set up a LinkedIn OAuth application and add the application credentials to your Supabase Dashboard.

Overview#

update

We will be replacing the existing LinkedIn provider with a new LinkedIn (OIDC) provider. Developers with LinkedIn OAuth Applications created prior to 1st August 2023 should create a new OAuth application and migrate their credentials from the LinkedIn provider to the LinkedIn (OIDC) provider. Read this section to find out more.

Setting up LinkedIn logins for your application consists of 3 parts:

Create and configure a LinkedIn Project and App on the LinkedIn Developer Dashboard.
Add your LinkedIn (OIDC) client_id and client_secret to your Supabase Project.
Add the login code to your Supabase JS Client App.

Access your LinkedIn Developer account#

Go to LinkedIn Developer Dashboard.
Log in (if necessary.)

Find your callback URL#

The next step requires a callback URL, which looks like this: https://<project-ref>.supabase.co/auth/v1/callback

Go to your Supabase Project Dashboard
Click on the Authentication icon in the left sidebar
Click on Providers under the Configuration section
Click on LinkedIn from the accordion list to expand and you'll find your Redirect URL, you can click Copy to copy it to the clipboard

Create a LinkedIn OAuth app#

Go to LinkedIn Developer Dashboard.
Click on Create App at the top right
Enter your LinkedIn Page and App Logo
Save your app
Click Products from the top menu
Look for Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect and click on Request Access
Click Auth from the top menu
Add your Redirect URL to the Authorized Redirect URLs for your app section
Copy and save your newly-generated Client ID
Copy and save your newly-generated Client Secret

Ensure that the appropriate scopes have been added under OAuth 2.0 Scopes at the bottom of the Auth screen.

Enter your LinkedIn (OIDC) credentials into your Supabase Project#

Go to your Supabase Project Dashboard
In the left sidebar, click the Authentication icon (near the top)
Click on Providers under the Configuration section
Click on LinkedIn (OIDC) from the accordion list to expand and turn LinkedIn (OIDC) Enabled to ON
Enter your LinkedIn (OIDC) Client ID and LinkedIn (OIDC) Client Secret saved in the previous step
Click Save

When your user signs in, call signInWithOAuth() with linkedin_oidc as the provider:


_10async function signInWithLinkedIn() {
_10  const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
_10    provider: 'linkedin_oidc',
_10  })
_10}

When your user signs out, call signOut() to remove them from the browser session and any objects from localStorage:


_10async function signOut() {
_10  const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
_10}

LinkedIn Open ID Connect (OIDC)#

To support recent changes to the LinkedIn OAuth APIs, we will be replacing the LinkedIn provider with a new LinkedIn (OIDC) provider which utilizes the Open ID Connect standard. Consequently, we have disabled edits on the LinkedIn provider and will be removing it effective 30th November 2023. Developers with LinkedIn OAuth Applications created prior to 1st August 2023 should create a new OAuth application via the steps outlined above and migrate their credentials from the LinkedIn provider to the LinkedIn (OIDC) provider. Developers using the Supabase CLI to test their LinkedIn OAuth application should also update their config.toml to make use of the new provider:


_10[auth.external.linkedin_oidc]
_10enabled = true
_10client_id = ...
_10secret = ...

Do reach out to support if you have any concerns around this change.
