Passport: 0.3.2 Passport LinkedIn OAuth2: 1.5.0

Hello,

I am getting this error

{ InternalOAuthError: failed to fetch user profile
    at /var/www/app/node_modules/passport-linkedin-oauth2/lib/oauth2.js:29:28
    at passBackControl (/var/www/app/node_modules/oauth/lib/oauth2.js:132:9)

When some of our users try to log in via LinkedIn. I am requesting only r_emailaddress and r_basicprofile. The user gets to the LinkedIn login page, logs in and then this error is sent back;

It happens only for some users, not all.

Do you have any idea where this might come from?

Thanks, Jerome

Were you able to get a resolution on this?

@IrvBriscoe You might take a look at the end of this thread. It works for me. https://github.com/auth0/passport-linkedin-oauth2/issues/24

Yes @itsheng , @IrvBriscoe and @jeerbl . The solution to the problem is at the end of https://github.com/auth0/passport-linkedin-oauth2/issues/24. I was working for 6 months in a project in suddently yesterday, around 7PM GMT. LinkedIn started crashing and I panicked. But it's now solved.

@Rikhart I had the same problem. Some profile fields for some users make the LinkedIn DB fail. Instead of asking for all fields in each scope, you can cherry-pick which field you need, and try to avoid the fields that make the oauth2 fail. That's still a pain as those fields may vary from one user to the other, but by restricting the oauth2 to just what you need, this helps to mitigate the issue. To cherry-pick those fields, use the sample described in this answer:

Hope this helps. Good luck with LinkedIn ;)

One of the reason is that LinkedIn has changed its permission type, now there is no basic profile One have to use r_liteprofile instead of r_basicprofile.

API scope should be r_emailaddress r_liteprofile'
