Question

I am using ‘linkedin’, :git => “git://github.com/pengwynn/linkedin.git” gem to connect with linkedin. once i connect with linked in forwarded to my application the session maintains outside my application scope.

if i come out from my application and type http://www.linkedin.com than the logged in user information is seen in the browser.

My problem is:

Once the user logs in using my application the session should not be maintained outside the application scope and if the user types http://www.linkedin.com he should not see his/her information.

Please help me how to do this in rails3.

Answer 1

I think this might be a LinkedIn feature. Since the user has to sign-in in order to connect to your site and give your site permission to access its information, the sign-in session cookie is still kept alive by LinkedIn.
