Linkedin Authentication Challenge

When using Linkedin API for the first time in a production server, you may get Challenge Exceptions. That's because you never logged in with the given account in that server before. The only way to deal with this problem is logging in manually before calling API. However, in a non-UI and non-browsers environment, you'll need a script to do that.

you can make a UI over the top of this module. but its for server implementation only not for browser.
