[OpenID] LinkedIn Connect?

[Paul Lindner]

The screen you see is LinkedIn's standard OAuth Authorization Screen.  When you click on the sign-in button it hits the 3rd party backend, which hits our requestToken endpoint, the resulting token is immediately used to redirect to the LinkedIn Authorize page.  If you're logged out you're going to see the Email/Password fields.  In all cases we prompt for the duration of the access grant.  Once access is granted we redirect back to the originating site.

It appears that elegant.ly  then associates the retrieved access token with a cookie/session on their domain.

Very slick.
