Hello,

Sorry to raise this issue again. My investigation shows that the package as it is currently it does not support the changes for V2 API of LinkedIn.

This means on March 1st 2019 the package will not be able to authenticate LinkedIn users.

I'm explaining:
According to this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/migration-faq

LinkedIn will drop support for the r_basicprofile permission. Its replacement will be the r_liteprofile permission.

Currently if you use

Meteor.loginWithLinkedin({
            requestPermissions: ['r_basicprofile', 'r_liteprofile', 'r_emailaddress']
 }

everything works fine. You are able to login and also access V2 API (provided that your LinkedIn App has access to V2 API).

But if you drop the r_basicprofile ( which will be a requirement ), the authentication will not work. It fails with the error:

 Error in OAuth Server: Failed to fetch identity from LinkedIn. failed [403] {   "errorCode": 0,   "message": "Access to site-standard-profile-request denied",   "requestId": "******",   "status": 403,   "timestamp": ******** }

I think this issue needs to re-open.

Kind Regards
