Duplicate Connected account request error (linkedin)

[alfaNova]

Affected version

2.3

Hello,

I have started to receive the following server error since yesterday. I guess people haven't try to connect their LinkedIn account since I upgraded to 2.3

Server error log
XF\ConnectedAccount\Http\HttpResponseException: Connected account request error (linkedin): Failed to request resource. HTTP Code: 403 src/XF/ConnectedAccount/Http/Client.php:67

I want to share my LinkedIn settings as well. But basically, I had created a LinkedIn app at the developer account, and entered the necessary information into the admin panel.

I have been still receiving this error. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I haven't changed anything after 2.2 and it was working perfect in 2.2

Same here with all connected accounts. Here's another thread about it.

Validation passes using test provider at admin.php?connected-accounts.

It seems support regarding connected accounts is very slim to none. I've seen countless threads about this before with almost no interaction from XenForo.

I had the same issue from A to B that I worked out yesterday. But when I want to set it up from B to A, it still gives me errors, while everything is like it's supposed to be, including the htaccess changes.

It's so easy to setup, yet it gives errors we can't fully comprehend. And without any decent documentation or support, it's like fighting against a wall.

I replied directly in the canonical bug report:

Just to provide some clarity, we made some changes in the last release to log errors with connected accounts that were previously suppressed. It's possible we'll need to make further adjustments to suppress certain errors and only log ones which result from real bugs and configuration issues. Ignoring the log entries, can anyone confirm that registering or logging in with any of the mentioned connected account providers does not work as expected?

The gist of it is most of these errors are just noise and actually not indicative of real problems with using connected accounts.

Connecting to linkedin gives the error. All the keys configured correctly. On testing, it opens the linkedin login page but gives the error below when you click the button to connect.
Test failed while connecting with Linkedin. Unable to retrieve provider key.
Anyone else encountered this issue? Any idea how to make LinkedIn connection work successfully?

I have the same problem. My guess is that LinkedIn changed their auth flow and xenforo didn't update it
