# Retrieve Information from Microsoft Dynamics (NTLM Authentication)

To retrieve information from a Microsoft Dynamics repository, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs fetch tasks automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.

To create a new Fetch Task

1. Stop the connector.
2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.

3. In the `[FetchTasks]` section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the `Number` parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type `Number=1`. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the `Number` parameter by one (1). Below the `Number` parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

4. Below the `[FetchTasks]` section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

       [MyTask]

1. In the new section, set the following parameters:

   `EndpointUrl` | The base URL of the Dynamics web API.
   `RetrievalSpecification` | The path to an XML file that contains the specification of what to retrieve from the repository. For information about how to create this file, see Create the XML Retrieval Specification.
   `NtlmUsername` | The user name to use to access resources protected by NTLM authentication.
   `NtlmPassword` | The password to use to access resources protected by NTLM authentication. Micro Focus recommends that you encrypt the password before entering it into the configuration file. For information about how to encrypt parameter values, see Encrypt Passwords.

1. Save and close the configuration file. You can now start the connector.
