Simms burst past the Chelsea man, launched a shot at goal, and yet another flappy hand from Kepa Arrizabalaga meant that Everton’s academy boy had secured a priceless point for his side. The Everton substitute Ellis Simms had been on the pitch for nine minutes when he took his chance with a run at Kalidou Koulibaly and found the £35 million defender very much not his equal. They had already been obliged to handle one Everton comeback, but a second felt excessive for a Chelsea team that had dominated most of the possession and just about all the chances. The Graham Potter renaissance was almost onto its fourth straight victory with one minute of the regulation 90 left, when the old frailties that have gripped new Chelsea came back to remind their manager just how far there is left to go.

You can trust that the ID returned by linkedin is correct, but after that point you must also be able to trust that ID stored on your site is still the same thing you got from linkedin. One other point of emphasis regarding how you're handling things AFTER the API request. You can even associate it with a user already in your database and give the user the option to EITHER login with the username/password combo stored in your database (salted/hashed, hopefully) OR via one of the oauth options. Even if a user knows another user's ID, they still need their linkedin username/password for the API to return that ID to you.ĭo feel free to store the ID returned though to track user preferences/actions. You cannot login as another user simply by knowing their linkedin ID - for linkedin's API to return that ID, the user on your site must have logged into linkedin with a username and password.Īs long as you can be sure that the API you're accessing really is linkedin's and the response hasn't been intercepted/changed/faked, you can trust that the ID returned by the API is the correct ID of a user on their site and that they have logged in and authenticated as that user.īasically, you're safe if you're always using linkedin's API to authenticate linkedin users and don't have a form on your site with a prompt to 'enter your linkedin ID to authenticate'.
This really isn't a secret, it's simply linkedin telling you that the user on your site has logged in as user with that unique identifier. When a user logs in via linkedin, their API will return to you their user ID.
