# JWT OmniAuth provider
To enable the JWT OmniAuth provider, you must register your application with JWT.
JWT will provide you with a secret key for you to use.
-1. On your GitLab server, open the configuration file.

- For installations from source:
-
- ```sh
- cd /home/git/gitlab
- sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml
- ```
-

- ```ruby
- gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
- { name: 'jwt',
- args: {
- secret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',

+<!-- ## Troubleshooting
+
+Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
+one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
+important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
+This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
+questions that you know someone might ask.
+
+Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
+If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
+but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
