You then fill in the following:

* **Name**: The name of your application
* **Redirect URI**: The callback URL from the Auth Provider dialog
* **Scopes**: `read_user` needs to be enabled but you can choose more if you want to use the GitLab API from your application backend.

After confirming, you can copy the *Application ID* and *Secret* in to the *Client ID* and *Client Secret* fields in the Auth Provider dialog and save.
