   1. Click My Apps > Create Application to open the Create New Application dialog.
   2. Complete the required fields, and click Submit.
      The client ID and client secret are provided by LinkedIn when your application is registered. The client ID and client secret are application-specific and are different for every application.
   3. Specify the authorized redirect URL when prompted using the following format:
