Linkedin auth token generated from android device is not working on web server

Question

I am trying to get LinkedIn User Access token using linkedin-j-android library. I am able to get a Valid auth token (60 days validity) and secret.

I am able to fetch all the user details using that auth token in the android device but when I am passing the same auth token to the web server and there I am using the same auth token to fetch the same user details, I am getting Invalid access token response.

The same token is working in Android device but on server It is not working. On the server, I am using same API keys and Secret of the LinkedIn App which I have used in Android device.

Answer 1

According to me auth-token generated on device can't work on your server. You have to generate different auth-token there to maintain session. Auth token can be used only on single device at a time. You can't pass it to different devices.

You can get more details about it here
