On this tab, you can adjust settings related to LinkedIn authentication. This feature enables live site users to register and log on to your website using their LinkedIn logon credentials.
Before you start configuring the settings, make sure you have the correct site selected using the Site drop-down list at the top left part of the page. Then you need to navigate to the ~/Bin/DotNetOpenAuth.dll.rename file and rename it to DotNetOpenAuth.dll. The library is renamed in the default installation because it doesn't support medium-trust environment.
Do not forget to click the 
Save button after entering each key or token.
