I just noticed on iriscouch that the configuration variables for
Twitter authentication are present.
(see https://github.com/iriscouch/CouchDB-XO_Auth)

Does anyone know how to use the plugin? I can't find any instructions
for iriscouch.

Thanks,

Marcus

Hi, Marcus. Were you able to follow the instructions from the README?

https://github.com/iriscouch/CouchDB-XO_Auth#twitter-configuration

(Note, you need to use the CouchDB /_config URLs instead of editing the
config file of course.)

I have a working Facebook example somewhere so please let me know if you
want me to dig it out. I believe it works very similarly.

No, I was lost as to how this works on iriscouch. Do I need to register an
app with Twitter? The odd thing is, there's already a consumer_key in the
config.

Can I leave the URLs as is?

client_app_uri: http://couchdb.no-ip.org:5984/_utils

redirect_uri : http://couchdb.no-ip.org:5984/_twitter

The example has this set true, but it's false in my config.
store_access_token :false

And last but not least, what URI do I use for the "login with Twitter"
button in my app?

Being unfamiliar with Twitter authentication, the readme left me with many
questions. I'd like to get it working though.
