Twitter Social Identity Provider Configuration Details
You can set up the Twitter social identity provider through the Admin UI or in a conf/identityProvider-twitter.json file. IDM generates the identityProvider-twitter.json file when you configure and enable the Twitter social identity provider in the Admin UI. Alternatively, you can create that file manually.
The following table includes the information shown in the Admin UI Twitter Provider pop-up window, along with associated information in the identityProvider-twitter.json file.
