LinkedIn supports a different oauth2 flow from most other oauth2 providers.
Would it be possible to add support for opening a popup window for user
confirmation that would grab the access code returned by linkedIn? This access
code could be passed to the server to be used by an alternate, server-side
oauth2 API (scribe, linkedin-j).
I have done some work to create an alternate AuthRequest url that can be used
to access the linkedIn confirmation page, but linkedIn returns its
accessCode/state confirmation code as URL parameters. I think it would be
possible to have the redirect page parse these url parameters (using javascript
or even grabbing them as a Place token, if using the google Places/Activities
API). The state code could be verified the access code could be made available
to the developer for use (in the same manner as the accessToken is currently
made available by the gwt-oauth2 api).
I am not very familiar with javascript so I am having some difficulty parsing
the access code once it has been returned by linked in. I can provide the work
I have already done on this, if you are interested in collaborating to finish
it off.
Apologies if anything is unclear, I'm sick with the flu right now.
