How to register my web server as "OAuth Consumer" in another enterprise application server?

Question

Hi,

I'm developing a website which run on WAMP stack (windows-apache-mysql-php). I'm trying to connect my web server to another enterprise application server and get some web services from it. I need to register my web server as "OAuth Consumer" in that enterprise server.

I already configure my web server to use SSL. I have a cert file "example.crt". I also have a key file "example.key". If I'm not mistaken, the cert file is the "Public key". And the key file is the "Private Key".

Now, when i want to register my web server as "OAuth Consumer" in that enterprise server, it ask for:-

1. Consumer Key
2. Public Key
3. Callback URL

I don't understand what is "Consumer Key". May I know what kind of things I should fill-in as "Consumer Key"? Is it the filename of example.key? or the contents inside example.key file?

(The user manual gives an example. If we want to register iGoogle as "OAuth Consumer", the "Consumer Key" for iGoogle is "www.google.com").
