     Your default web browser opens to the Yammer web site, so that you can authorize the connector to access Yammer.

     After you authorize the connector, the OAuth tool obtains the access token from Yammer and creates a file named `oauth.cfg`, in the connector's installation folder. This file contains the parameters required by the connector to authenticate with Yammer. 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 Next followed by Finish. For information about how to run the OAuth tool at a later time, see Configure OAuth Authentication.
