LinkedIn Authentication on OWIN/MVC5

Question

We've used LinkedIn OAuth/Simple membership on MVC4 project, and it is working pretty.

But with inspecting new OWIN based ASP.NET MVC5 framework, we found there is no LinkedIn authentication feature. We could use Google,Facebook,Twitter and Microsoft live ID, but no LinkedIn.

Are there any kinds of simple ways to integrate the LinkedIn authentication into new OWIN/Katana/MVC5?

Answer 1

LinkedIn is currently not there in the Katana builds. We do plan to add support for LinkedIn and you will be able to get it as a Nuget package.

Answer 2

I have created providers for LinkedIn and Yahoo for use with OWIN. Please see the blog post at http://www.beabigrockstar.com/introducing-the-yahoo-linkedin-oauth-security-providers-for-owin/
