The LinkedIn connector allows SigningHub to connect with LinkedIn to authenticate users both at the time of login and at the time of signing. By using this connector, the SigningHub users can authenticate themselves by using their (same) LinkedIn account credentials. For this, SigningHub needs to be registered with the LinkedIn platform.
