Unauthorised scope r_liteprofile with linkedin oauth2

[tambakoo]

I am getting unauthorized_scope_error | Scope "r_liteprofile" is not authorized for your application very sporadically with linkedin oauth-2. This is very weird as there's no r_liteprofile in the linkedin developer's console. It only has basicprofile, r_emailaddress, rw_company_admin and w_share. Is this a pre-known issue ? Not getting any footprint online.
Linkedin is pushing the control to https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?client_id=817pm189a9zxnp&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2Fauth%2Flinkedin%2Fcallback&response_type=code&scope=r_basicprofile&state=cea1676704da0832326304c1da6ee80eabc79463da80ac1d which has r_liteprofile while on linkedin console I'm clearly only requesting r_basicprofile .

This is a known issue with LinkedIn. Some OAuth applications there do not yet have the r_liteprofile option enabled. I've no idea why that is, but until it's available for your app the best way to workaround this issue is to bundle the pre 1.0.0 version of this gem.

1.0.0 won't work without r_liteprofile checked.

@pjg This is gonna sound really weird but I didn't even have the r_liteprofile checkbox on the linkedin console and despite that it was working, then it started giving me the above errors and it again started working yesterday. This is super confusing.

Interesting. From what I could gather it seems to me like LinkedIn Oauth stuff is quite a mess on their end, so it's not that surprising that you observe such non-deterministic behaviour.

[tambakoo]

Okay. I'll wait for them (there's no other option right). Should I close the issue now or once it is actually resolved ?

[pjg]

I haven't found a way to contact them :/ I'd leave it open as more ppl are likely to run into it.

Regarding the r_liteprofile scope, we had to re-create a new App on the dev center and use the new settings (id and secret) in our config for it to works properly with the new lib. It seems that older created apps do not have the products as seen in the screenshot below added, and there is no way to add them afterward. Go figure.

I change SOCIAL_AUTH_LINKEDIN_OAUTH2_SCOPE = ['r_basicprofile', 'r_emailaddress'] to SOCIAL_AUTH_LINKEDIN_OAUTH2_SCOPE = ['r_liteprofile', 'r_emailaddress']
It's work in my case

config.omniauth :linkedin, client_id, secret, :SOCIAL_AUTH_LINKEDIN_OAUTH2_SCOPE => 'r_liteprofile' worked

For anyone struggling with this, one needs to enable on the LinkedIn page "Products" the option "Sing-In with LinkedIn".

This will take 5 min for approval by LinkedIn after which the required scope "r_liteprofile" will be added to the "O_Auth 2.0 Scopes" section in LinkedIn. Found the answer on StackOverflow and works like a charm.

The option "Sing-In with LinkedIn" on the LinkedIn page "Products" seems to be gone. Only "Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect" is available in my new created LI app, which doesn't work for me. Does anyone know where to find it?

any ideas on how to solve this? I'm trying to integrate my app with linkedin but sign-in doesn't really seem to be working

Having the same issue here (Sign in with LinkedIn does not work, gives the error "Scope "r_liteprofile" is not authorized for your application". But I don't know where to enable that scope((

[AMUZY]

Are you using Next.js? I have found a way to do it in my Next.js app inside of the Next auth options

I found a solution to this, in my Next js app. I can access the code when I'm with my laptop
