Learn how to set up LINKEDIN Login through this tutorial video or could follow the steps mentioned below:
In a Panther marketplace, users can create a Panther user account and log in using their LinkedIn account. When using their LinkedIn credentials, users don’t need to remember a separate username and password for Panther. Their profile picture is automatically imported from LinkedIn.
If you would like to enable that feature, you will need to create a LinkedIn Sign In app and configure your marketplace to use this app. Creating a LinkedIn Sign In app is free. Follow the instructions below to set this up.
IMPORTANT! When creating a LinkedIn Sign In app for your marketplace, please do NOT add anything that is not specifically indicated in this instruction. Doing so might create some issues and prevent you from finishing the setup.
