# Twitter OAuth 2.0 OmniAuth Provider **(FREE SELF)**
|
|

To enable the Twitter OmniAuth provider you must register your application with
|
|
Twitter. Twitter generates a client ID and secret key for you to use.
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to [Twitter Application Management](https://apps.twitter.com).
|
|
|
|
1. Select "Create new app".
|
|
|
|
1. Fill in the application details.
|
|
- Name: This can be anything. Consider something like `<Organization>'s GitLab` or `<Your Name>'s GitLab` or
|
|
something else descriptive.
|
|
- Description: Create a description.
|
|
- Website: The URL to your GitLab installation. `https://gitlab.example.com`
|
|
- Callback URL: `https://gitlab.example.com/users/auth/twitter/callback`
|
|
- Agree to the "Developer Agreement".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Select "Create your Twitter application."
|
|
|
|
1. Select the "Settings" tab.
|
|
|
|
1. Underneath the Callback URL check the box next to "Allow this application to be used to Sign in with Twitter."
|
|

|
|
|
|
1. Select the "Keys and Access Tokens" tab.
|
|
|
|
1. You should now see an API key and API secret (see screenshot). Keep this page open as you continue configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. On your GitLab server, open the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
For Omnibus package:

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:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
|
|
{
|
|
name: "twitter",
|
|
# label: "Provider name", # optional label for login button, defaults to "Twitter"
|
|
app_id: "YOUR_APP_ID",
|
|
app_secret: "YOUR_APP_SECRET"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For installations from source:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- { name: 'twitter',
|
|
# label: 'Provider name', # optional label for login button, defaults to "Twitter"
|
|
app_id: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
|
|
app_secret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET' }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Change 'YOUR_APP_ID' to the API key from Twitter page in step 11.
|
|
|
|
1. Change 'YOUR_APP_SECRET' to the API secret from the Twitter page in step 11.
|
|
|
|
1. Save the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
1. [Reconfigure](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) or [restart GitLab](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#installations-from-source) for the changes to take effect if you
|
|
installed GitLab via Omnibus or from source respectively.
|
|
|
|
On the sign in page there should now be a Twitter icon below the regular sign in form. Select the icon to begin the authentication process. Twitter asks the user to sign in and authorize the GitLab application. If everything goes well the user is returned to GitLab and signed in.
