Could not authenticate you from Linkedin because "Invalid credentials"

I have set up DEVISE and OMNIAUTH login. It was working with Facebook. Now I am trying to set it up similarly for LinkedIn. Below is what I have done. However, I am getting following error message - "Could not authenticate you from Linkedin because "Invalid credentials"." Can someone please assist?

Thank you in advance. In case you need more details then let me know.

GEM FILE

gem 'omniauth'
gem 'omniauth-linkedin'
gem 'devise', :git => 'git://github.com/plataformatec/devise.git'

Omniauth.rb

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :linkedin, LINKEDIN_APP, LINKEDIN_SECRET
end

Devise.rb

require "omniauth-linkedin"
config.omniauth :linkedin, LINKEDIN_APP, LINKEDIN_SECRET

Where did the get the keys?

  1. Registered a new application at https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer?newapp=

  2. Got two keys API Key and Secret Key on application show page. Copied them to LINKEDIN_APP, LINKEDIN_SECRET

omniauth.rb is conflicting with devise.rb as both are interacting with Omniauth. Remove the code in omniauth.rb.

Explained in Devise documentation:

Remember that config.omniauth adds omniauth provider middleware to your application. This means you should not add this provider middleware again in config/initializers/omniauth.rb as they'll clash with each other and result in always-failing authentication.

I had almost the same problem with 'omniauth-github' . I hope this post of Ryan Bigg is going to help you. Another simple check is if url and url-callback of the app are there (no localhost:3000 allowed) .
