# LinkedIn Login Integration Kit

The LinkedIn Login Integration Kit allows PingFederate to use LinkedIn as an identity provider (IdP). This allows users to access service provider (SP) applications by signing into LinkedIn.

## Features

* Supports the [PingFederate authentication API](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/developers_reference_guide/pf_authentication_api.html).

* Supports the [JavaScript Widget for the PingFederate Authentication API](https://github.com/pingidentity/pf-authn-js-widget).

## Components

LinkedIn IdP Adapter

* Allows PingFederate to communicate with the LinkedIn API to process sign-on requests and get user information.

Templates

* Allows the adapter to prompt the user to sign on. The template can be presented with a browser redirect or as a pop-up window.

* Allows you to modify the appearance of the sign-on prompt.

Language packs

* Allows you to customize or localize the messages returned by the PingFederate authentication API and shown on the templates during authentication.
