Linkedin logout issue

[inovatrik-akhil]

I’m using this package to implement LinkedIn login, and I’ve run into an issue when trying to switch user accounts.
If an existing LinkedIn session is active, attempting to sign in again does not show the LinkedIn login screen. Instead, it automatically logs in with the previously authenticated user.
I’ve tried logging out using the following code:

await HttpContext.SignOutAsync(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

However, this does not seem to log the user out of LinkedIn, and the same account continues to be used on subsequent login attempts. Is there a recommended way to fully sign out or force the login prompt to allow account switching?

However, this does not seem to log the user out of LinkedIn

That's by design, the provider just logs out the current session for itself.

I'm not aware of functionality in LinkedIn to force an account picker to be shown, but if there is we could consider adding an option to allow for that to be used (if there isn't already an extensibility hook in the base OAuth provider to pass along such an option).

Thanks for the clarification.

Is there any way to force a complete logout from LinkedIn itself so that on the next login attempt the LinkedIn authentication screen is shown instead of automatically reusing the existing session?

In other words, is there a supported approach (or workaround) to prevent auto-login and ensure the user gets the option to choose or enter a different account?

I don't know - you'll need to take a look at the LinkedIn OAuth documentation in the first instance to see if the API has support for that.
