The default connector configuration automatically imports these parameters (for information about how to include configuration parameters from other files, see Include an External Configuration File).

     You can now configure fetch tasks. For information about how to do this, see Use the Connector.

   - To finish installing the connector without running the OAuth tool, clear the Run OAuth tool check box and click Finish. For information about how to run the OAuth tool at a later time, see Configure OAuth Authentication.
