Add LinkedIn as a social sign-in provider in Ory

Ory Console
Ory CLI

Follow these steps to add LinkedIn as a social sign-in provider to your project using the Ory Console:

Sign in to Ory Console and select Social Sign-in.
Click the switch next to the LinkedIn logo to start the configuration.
Copy the Redirect URI and save it for later use.
Create a LinkedIn application, verify it and activate Sign In with LinkedInV2.
Add the saved Redirect URI from Ory to the Authorized redirect URLs in the LinkedIn Auth configuration.
The following Scopes are available once Sign In with LinkedInV2 has been activated:
- r_emailaddress
- r_liteprofile
Copy the following data from the LinkedIn Auth page to the corresponding fields in the form in the Ory Console:

Client ID
Client secret

In the Scopes field of the form in the Ory Console, add the following scopes:
- r_emailaddress
- r_liteprofile

In the Data Mapping field of the form in the Ory Console, add the following Jsonnet code snippet, which maps the desired claims to the Ory Identity schema:

local claims = {
  email_verified: false,
} + std.extVar('claims');
{
  identity: {
    traits: {
      // Allowing unverified email addresses enables account
      // enumeration attacks,  if the value is used for
      // verification or as a password login identifier.
      //
      // Therefore we only return the email if it (a) exists and (b) is marked verified
      // by LinkedIn.
      [if 'email' in claims && claims.email_verified then 'email' else null]: claims.email,
    },
  },
}

Don't save secrets such as API keys, credentials, or personal data directly in Jsonnet code snippets. Jsonnet code snippets used for data mapping aren't stored in an encrypted format in Ory Network.

Click Save Configuration.

Follow these steps to add LinkedIn as a social sign-in provider to your project using the Ory CLI:

Create a LinkedIn application, verify it and activate Sign In with LinkedInV2.
In the created app, add this Redirect URI to the Authorized redirect URLs in the LinkedIn Auth configuration:
```
https://{project.slug}.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/linkedin
```

Create a Jsonnet code snippet to map the desired claims to the Ory Identity schema.

local claims = {
  email_verified: false,
} + std.extVar('claims');
{
  identity: {
    traits: {
      // Allowing unverified email addresses enables account
      // enumeration attacks,  if the value is used for
      // verification or as a password login identifier.
      //
      // Therefore we only return the email if it (a) exists and (b) is marked verified
      // by LinkedIn.
      [if 'email' in claims && claims.email_verified then 'email' else null]: claims.email,
    },
  },
}

danger

Don't save secrets such as API keys, credentials, or personal data directly in Jsonnet code snippets. Jsonnet code snippets used for data mapping aren't stored in an encrypted format in Ory Network.

Encode the Jsonnet snippet with Base64 or host it under an URL accessible to Ory Network.
```
cat your-data-mapping.jsonnet | base64
```

Download the Ory Identities config from your project and save it to a file:

## List all available projects
ory list projects
## Get config
ory get identity-config {project-id} --format yaml > identity-config-$project-id.yaml

Add the social sign-in provider configuration to the downloaded config. Add the Jsonnet snippet with mappings as a Base64 string or provide an URL to the file.

selfservice:
  methods:
    oidc:
      config:
        providers:
          - id: linkedin # this is `<provider-id>` in the Authorization callback URL. DO NOT CHANGE IT ONCE SET!
            provider: linkedin
            client_id: .... # Replace this with the Client ID provided by LinkedIn
            client_secret: .... # Replace this with the Client Secret provided by LinkedIn
            mapper_url: "base64://{YOUR_BASE64_ENCODED_JSONNET_HERE}"
            # Alternatively, use an URL:
            # mapper_url: https://storage.googleapis.com/abc-cde-prd/9cac9717f007808bf17f22ce7f4295c739604b183f05ac4afb4
            scope:
              - r_emailaddress
              - r_liteprofile
      enabled: true

Update the Ory Identities configuration using the file you worked with:
```
ory update identity-config {project-id} --file identity-config.yaml
```
