# Configure the Connector

To configure the connector to extract data from an Exchange repository, follow these steps.

To configure the connector

1. Open the connector configuration file (`ExchangeConnectorCFS.cfg`, in the connector’s installation folder).

2. In the `[FetchTasks]` section, create a new fetch task. For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

3. In the `[TaskName]` section, set the following parameters:

   `Profile` | The name of the MAPI profile that you configured.
   `Password` | The password required to use the MAPI profile and access the Exchange repository. Autonomy recommends that you encrypt the password. For information about how to do this, see Encrypt Passwords.

4. (Optional) You might want to set additional parameters to limit the messages that are retrieved. There are many parameters that can be used to do this. For a complete list, refer to the Exchange Connector Reference.

   `StoreRegex` | A regular expression. The connector only processes stores that match the regular expression.
   `FolderRegex` | A regular expression. The connector only processes folders that match the regular expression.
   `MessageMinDate` | A date (specified using epoch seconds). The connector only retrieves messages that were created after this date.
   `MessageFilterLua` | The path to a Lua script to filter the messages in the repository. The connector only retrieves messages that pass the filter. For information about how to filter messages using a Lua Script, see Filter Messages using a Lua Script.

   For example:

       [MyTask]
       Profile=Exchange2010
       Password=h20dl38ahvl35srq
       StoreRegex=.*ou=UK.*
       FolderRegex=.*Inbox
       MessageFilterLua=C:\Autonomy\Scripts\messagefilter.lua

5. In the `[Ingestion]` section, set the `IndexDatabase` parameter to the name of the IDOL database into which you want to index the data.

6. Save and close the configuration file.
