You need to register a new application on LinkedIn to get an application ID and a secret. See https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps/ on how to do that.

In Manager, go in General Parameters
> Authentication modules
and choose LinkedIn for authentication module.
Then, go in LinkedIn parameters
:
Authentication level: authentication level for this module.
