Summary:
Rather than making users login to your site - you can authorize them using LinkedIn authentication (and track this data within CANDDi)
This example shows how to create a LinkedIn Application, add an authentication code to your webpage and send the data back to CANDDi.
This is based on the sample code at (https://www.leadboxer.com/tutorials/capture-linkedin-data/)
