Sign in with LinkedIn

To enable LinkedIn Auth for your project, you need to set up a LinkedIn OAuth application and add the application credentials to your Supabase Dashboard.

Overview

Setting up LinkedIn sign-in for your application consists of 3 parts:

Create and configure a LinkedIn Project and App on the LinkedIn Developer Dashboard.
Add your LinkedIn (OIDC) client_id and client_secret to your Supabase Project.
Add the sign-in code to your Supabase JS Client App.

Access your LinkedIn Developer account

Go to LinkedIn Developer Dashboard.
Sign in (if necessary.)

Find your callback URL

The next step requires a callback URL, which looks like this: https://<project-ref>.supabase.co/auth/v1/callback

Go to your Supabase Project Dashboard
Click on the Authentication icon in the left sidebar
Click on Sign In / Providers under the Configuration section
Click on LinkedIn from the accordion list to expand and you'll find your Callback URL, you can click Copy to copy it to the clipboard

Local development

When testing OAuth locally with the Supabase CLI, ensure your OAuth provider is configured with the local Supabase Auth callback URL:

http://localhost:54321/auth/v1/callback

If this callback URL is missing or misconfigured, OAuth sign-in may fail or not redirect correctly during local development.

See the local development docs for more details.

For testing OAuth locally with the Supabase CLI see the local development docs.

Create a LinkedIn OAuth app

Go to LinkedIn Developer Dashboard.
Click on Create App at the top right
Enter your LinkedIn Page and App Logo
Save your app
Click Products from the top menu
Look for Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect and click on Request Access
Click Auth from the top menu
Add your Redirect URL to the Authorized Redirect URLs for your app section
Copy and save your newly-generated Client ID
Copy and save your newly-generated Client Secret

Ensure that the appropriate scopes have been added under OAuth 2.0 Scopes at the bottom of the Auth screen.

Enter your LinkedIn (OIDC) credentials into your Supabase project

Go to your Supabase Project Dashboard
In the left sidebar, click the Authentication icon (near the top)
Click on Providers under the Configuration section
Click on LinkedIn (OIDC) from the accordion list to expand and turn LinkedIn (OIDC) Enabled to ON
Enter your LinkedIn (OIDC) Client ID and LinkedIn (OIDC) Client Secret saved in the previous step
Click Save

You can also configure the LinkedIn (OIDC) auth provider using the Management API:

# Get your access token from https://supabase.com/dashboard/account/tokens
export SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN="your-access-token"
export PROJECT_REF="your-project-ref"

# Configure LinkedIn (OIDC) auth provider
curl -X PATCH "https://api.supabase.com/v1/projects/$PROJECT_REF/config/auth" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "external_linkedin_oidc_enabled": true,
    "external_linkedin_oidc_client_id": "your-linkedin-client-id",
    "external_linkedin_oidc_secret": "your-linkedin-client-secret"
  }'

Note

Make sure you're using the right supabase client in the following code.

If you're not using Server-Side Rendering or cookie-based Auth, you can directly use the createClient from @supabase/supabase-js. If you're using Server-Side Rendering, see the Server-Side Auth guide for instructions on creating your Supabase client.

When your user signs in, call signInWithOAuth() with linkedin_oidc as the provider:

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

const supabase = createClient('https://your-project-id.supabase.co', 'sb_publishable_...')

// ---cut---
async function signInWithLinkedIn() {
  const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
    provider: 'linkedin_oidc',
  })
}

When your user signs in, call signInWithOAuth() with linkedin_oidc as the provider:

Future<void> signInWithLinkedIn() async {
  await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth(
    OAuthProvider.linkedinOidc,
    redirectTo: kIsWeb ? null : 'my.scheme://my-host', // Optionally set the redirect link to bring back the user via deeplink.
    authScreenLaunchMode:
        kIsWeb ? LaunchMode.platformDefault : LaunchMode.externalApplication, // Launch the auth screen in a new webview on mobile.
  );
}

When your user signs in, call signInWith(Provider) with LinkedIn as the Provider:

suspend fun signInWithKaLinkedIn() {
	supabase.auth.signInWith(LinkedIn)
}

When your user signs in, call SignIn() with Provider.LinkedInOIDC as the provider:

var state = await supabase.Auth.SignIn(Provider.LinkedInOIDC);
var signInUrl = state.Uri;

For a PKCE flow, for example in Server-Side Auth, you need an extra step to handle the code exchange. When calling signInWithOAuth, provide a redirectTo URL which points to a callback route. This redirect URL should be added to your redirect allow list.

Client

Server

In the browser, signInWithOAuth automatically redirects to the OAuth provider's authentication endpoint, which then redirects to your endpoint.

import { createClient, type Provider } from '@supabase/supabase-js';
const supabase = createClient('https://your-project-id.supabase.co', 'sb_publishable_...')
const provider = 'provider' as Provider

// ---cut---
await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
  provider,
  options: {
    redirectTo: `http://example.com/auth/callback`,
  },
})

In the server, you need to handle the redirect to the OAuth provider's authentication endpoint. The signInWithOAuth method returns the endpoint URL, which you can redirect to.

Caution

Use a server client from @supabase/ssr, and send its cookies with the redirect. signInWithOAuth stores the PKCE code verifier in a cookie. When that Set-Cookie header doesn't reach the browser, the callback can't exchange the code for a session.

import { createServerClient, parseCookieHeader, serializeCookieHeader } from '@supabase/ssr'
import type { Provider } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

// A route handler that receives the incoming Request
async function handler(request: Request) {
  const headers = new Headers()
  const provider = 'provider' as Provider

  const supabase = createServerClient('https://your-project-id.supabase.co', 'sb_publishable_...', {
    cookies: {
      getAll() {
        return parseCookieHeader(request.headers.get('Cookie') ?? '') as {
          name: string
          value: string
        }[]
      },
      setAll(cookiesToSet, cacheHeaders) {
        cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
          headers.append('Set-Cookie', serializeCookieHeader(name, value, options))
        )
        Object.entries(cacheHeaders).forEach(([key, value]) => headers.set(key, value))
      },
    },
  })

  const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
    provider,
    options: {
      redirectTo: 'http://example.com/auth/callback',
    },
  })

  if (error) {
    throw error
  }

  // Redirect with `headers` so the browser stores the code verifier cookie.
  // Frameworks usually wrap this, for example `redirect(data.url, { headers })` in Remix.
  headers.set('Location', data.url)
  return new Response(null, { status: 303, headers })
}

When your framework sets cookies on the response for you, such as cookies() in Next.js or event.cookies in SvelteKit, write to that API in setAll instead. The cookie is then already on the response, and the redirect needs no extra headers.

At the callback endpoint, handle the code exchange to save the user session.

Create a new file at app/auth/callback/route.ts and populate with the following:

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

// The client you created from the Server-Side Auth instructions
import { createClient } from '@/utils/supabase/server'

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const { searchParams, origin } = new URL(request.url)
  const code = searchParams.get('code')
  // if "next" is in param, use it as the redirect URL
  let next = searchParams.get('next') ?? '/'
  if (!next.startsWith('/')) {
    // if "next" is not a relative URL, use the default
    next = '/'
  }

  if (code) {
    const supabase = await createClient()
    const { error } = await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)
    if (!error) {
      const forwardedHost = request.headers.get('x-forwarded-host') // original origin before load balancer
      const isLocalEnv = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
      if (isLocalEnv) {
        // we can be sure that there is no load balancer in between, so no need to watch for X-Forwarded-Host
        return NextResponse.redirect(`${origin}${next}`)
      } else if (forwardedHost) {
        return NextResponse.redirect(`https://${forwardedHost}${next}`)
      } else {
        return NextResponse.redirect(`${origin}${next}`)
      }
    }
  }

  // return the user to an error page with instructions
  return NextResponse.redirect(`${origin}/auth/auth-code-error`)
}

Create a new file at src/routes/auth/callback/+server.js and populate with the following:

import { redirect } from '@sveltejs/kit'

export const GET = async (event) => {
  const {
    url,
    locals: { supabase },
  } = event
  const code = url.searchParams.get('code')
  const next = url.searchParams.get('next') ?? '/'

  if (code) {
    const { error } = await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)
    if (!error) {
      redirect(303, `/${next.slice(1)}`)
    }
  }

  // return the user to an error page with instructions
  redirect(303, '/auth/auth-code-error')
}

Create a new file at src/pages/auth/callback.ts and populate with the following:

import { createServerClient, parseCookieHeader } from '@supabase/ssr'
import { type APIRoute } from 'astro'

export const GET: APIRoute = async ({ request, cookies, redirect }) => {
  const requestUrl = new URL(request.url)
  const code = requestUrl.searchParams.get('code')
  const next = requestUrl.searchParams.get('next') || '/'

  if (code) {
    const supabase = createServerClient(
      import.meta.env.PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL,
      import.meta.env.PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY,
      {
        cookies: {
          getAll() {
            return parseCookieHeader(Astro.request.headers.get('Cookie') ?? '')
          },
          setAll(cookiesToSet, _headers) {
            cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
              Astro.cookies.set(name, value, options)
            )
          },
        },
      }
    )

    const { error } = await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)

    if (!error) {
      return redirect(next)
    }
  }

  // return the user to an error page with instructions
  return redirect('/auth/auth-code-error')
}

Create a new file at app/routes/auth.callback.tsx and populate with the following:

import { redirect, type LoaderFunctionArgs } from '@remix-run/node'
import { createServerClient, parseCookieHeader, serializeCookieHeader } from '@supabase/ssr'

export async function loader({ request }: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
  const requestUrl = new URL(request.url)
  const code = requestUrl.searchParams.get('code')
  const next = requestUrl.searchParams.get('next') || '/'
  const responseHeaders = new Headers()

  if (code) {
    const supabase = createServerClient(
      process.env.SUPABASE_URL!,

            cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
              responseHeaders.append('Set-Cookie', serializeCookieHeader(name, value, options))
            )
            Object.entries(cacheHeaders).forEach(([key, value]) => responseHeaders.set(key, value))

      return redirect(next, { headers: responseHeaders })
    }
  }

  // return the user to an error page with instructions
  return redirect('/auth/auth-code-error', { headers: responseHeaders })

Create a new route in your express app and populate with the following:

...
app.get("/auth/callback", async function (req, res) {
  const code = req.query.code
  const next = req.query.next ?? "/"

  if (code) {
    const supabase = createServerClient(
      process.env.SUPABASE_URL,
      process.env.SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY, {
    cookies: {
      getAll() {
        return parseCookieHeader(req.headers.cookie ?? '')
      },
      setAll(cookiesToSet, headers) {
        cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
          res.appendHeader('Set-Cookie', serializeCookieHeader(name, value, options))
        )
        Object.entries(headers).forEach(([key, value]) =>
          res.setHeader(key, value)
        )
      },
    },
  })
    await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)
  }

  res.redirect(303, `/${next.slice(1)}`)
})

LinkedIn Open ID Connect (OIDC)

We are replacing the LinkedIn provider with a new LinkedIn (OIDC) provider to support recent changes to the LinkedIn OAuth APIs. The new provider uses the Open ID Connect standard. In view of this change, we have disabled edits on the LinkedIn provider and will be removing it effective 4th January 2024. Developers with LinkedIn OAuth Applications created before 1st August 2023 should create a new OAuth application via the steps outlined above and migrate their credentials from the LinkedIn provider to the LinkedIn (OIDC) provider. Alternatively, you can also head to the Products section and add the newly releaseSign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect to your existing OAuth application.

Developers using the Supabase CLI to test their LinkedIn OAuth application should also update their config.toml to make use of the new provider:

[auth.external.linkedin_oidc]
enabled = true
client_id = ...
secret = ...

Do reach out to support if you have any concerns around this change.
