passport-linkedin: InternalOAuthError - failed to obtain request token
I am looking to use passport-linkedin in my application. I have successfully implemented same for twitter, facebook and instagram. However with linkedin, I get getting the following error
InternalOAuthError: failed to obtain request token

GET /oauth/linkedin 500 1074ms - 786b
Here’s what my code looks like
xports.setup = function (config) {
var passport = require('passport');
var LinkedinStrategy = require('passport-linkedin').Strategy;
passport.use(new LinkedinStrategy({
consumerKey: config.linkedin.clientID,
consumerSecret: config.linkedin.clientSecret,
callbackURL: config.linkedin.callbackURL
},
function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
console.log(token, tokenSecret, profile);
return done(null, true);
}
));
};
and here’s the routing setup
router
.get('/',
function(req, res, next) {
console.log("[OAuth2:redirect:query]:", JSON.stringify(req.query));
console.log("[OAuth2:redirect:body]:", JSON.stringify(req.body));
next();
},
passport.authenticate('linkedin', {
failureRedirect: '/settings/connected-accounts',
session: false
}))
.get('/callback', passport.authenticate('linkedin', {
failureRedirect: '/settings/connected-accounts',
session: false
}), function (req, res){
res.redirect('/settings/connected-accounts');
});
Also, I have setup the appropriate endpoints on linkedin as follows;
Authorized Redirect URLs:
http://testdomain.ngrok.io/oauth/linkedin/callback
http://localhost:9000/oauth/linkedin/callback
http://127.0.0.1:9000/oauth/linkedin/callback
Default “Accept” Redirect URL:
http://testdomain.ngrok.io/settings/connected-accounts
http://localhost:9000/settings/connected-accounts
I tried each of the above but always had the same error. I don’t know what to do next, I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks 😃

I had this issue and had to use
https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-google-oauth2
rather than the basic google auth in the docs to make it work. It looks like the original uses an outdated URL.
Well I was getting the same error but then i used
var GoogleStrategy = require(‘passport-google-oauth’).OAuth2Strategy; instead of .OAuthStrategy … It worked for me
yes … I tried everything… Now I am using “passport-linkedin-oauth2” NPM. Its working smoothly for me.
Thank you for your quick reply.
