You will be presented with your application details. Under the OAuth 1.0a Settings you'll find the "Consumer key" and "Consumer secret" strings that you need to copy to the JReviews configuration. You also need the app's "Access Token" and "Access Token Secret" which you can get from the My Access Token menu for your app.
