Action Required For LinkedIn Single Sign-On

Pallavi Paranjape

What is happening?

LinkedIn has new mandatory login requirements. In December 2018, LinkedIn announced that it would be making changes to its Sign In APIs that included shutting off their V1 APIs and disabling the use of OAuth1. These changes impact any NetCommunity customer who enabled single sign-on using LinkedIn in their Janrain dashboard.

What does this mean?

If you offer LinkedIn as a single sign-on provider on your NetCommunity site, login attempts will fail until you make updates in your organization's Janrain dashboard and the LinkedIn app within that dashboard.

What do you need to do?

Make updates in your organization's Janrain Dashboard and LinkedIn apps as outlined in Knowledgebase Article 190510. 

When do you need to do this?

 If you have enabled Social Login for Netcommunity via LinkedIn, we recommend that you take action immediately to ensure that Single Sign-On via LinkedIn continues to work for NetCommunity site.
