# Twitter OAuth 1.0a OmniAuth Provider **(FREE SELF)**
NOTE:

1. Select **Create new app**.
1. Fill in the application details.
- **Name**: This can be anything. Consider something like `<Organization>'s GitLab`, `<Your Name>'s GitLab` or
something else descriptive.
- **Description**: Create a description.
- **Website**: The URL to your GitLab installation. For example, `https://gitlab.example.com`
- **Callback URL**: `https://gitlab.example.com/users/auth/twitter/callback`
- **Developer Agreement**: Select **Yes, I agree**.

## Configure your application on the GitLab server
1. On your GitLab server, open the configuration file.
For Omnibus package:
```shell
sudo editor /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
```
For installations from source:
```shell
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml
```
1. See [Configure initial settings](omniauth.md#configure-initial-settings) for initial settings.
1. Add the provider configuration.
For Omnibus package:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
{
name: "twitter",
# label: "Provider name", # optional label for login button, defaults to "Twitter"
app_id: "<your_api_key>",
app_secret: "<your_api_secret>"
}
]
```
For installations from source:
```yaml
- { name: 'twitter',
# label: 'Provider name', # optional label for login button, defaults to "Twitter"
app_id: '<your_api_key>',
app_secret: '<your_api_secret>' }
```
1. Change `<your_api_key>` to the API key from the Twitter **Keys and Access Tokens** tab.
1. Change `<your_api_secret>` to the API secret from the Twitter **Keys and Access Tokens** tab.
1. Save the configuration file.
1. For the changes to take effect, if you installed:
- Using Omnibus, [reconfigure GitLab](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
- From source, [restart GitLab](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#installations-from-source).
On the sign-in page, find the Twitter option below the regular sign-in form. Select the option to begin the authentication process. Twitter asks you to sign in and authorize the GitLab application. After authorization,
you are returned to GitLab and signed in.
