For omnibus package:

sudo editor /etc/gitlab/[Link]

For installations from source:

cd /home/git/gitlab

sudo -u git -H editor config/[Link]

9. See Initial OmniAuth Configuration ([Link]#initial-omniauth-configuration) for initial settings.

10. Add the provider configuration:

For omnibus package:

gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
{
"name" => "gitlab",
"app_id" => "YOUR_APP_ID",
"app_secret" => "YOUR_APP_SECRET",
"args" => { "scope" => "api" }
}
]

For installations from source:

- { name: 'gitlab', app_id: 'YOUR_APP_ID',


app_secret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
args: { scope: 'api' } }

11. Change 'YOUR_APP_ID' to the Application ID from the [Link] application page.

12. Change 'YOUR_APP_SECRET' to the secret from the [Link] application page.

13. Save the configuration file.

14. 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 [Link] icon below the regular sign in form. Click the icon to
begin the authentication process. [Link] will ask the user to sign in and authorize the GitLab
application. If everything goes well the user will be returned to your GitLab instance and will be signed in.
