# DistributedConnectorPort

The ACI port of your Distributed Connector, or the port that you have configured the Connector ACI group in NiFi to listen on. You must also set DistributedConnectorHost.

The View component can use the Distributed Connector or NiFi Ingest to retrieve documents by reference from your original source repositories, by using your connectors. This option means that you do not need to create a secondary store of documents for viewing, and you do not need to set up additional components to authenticate in the repositories. View can use the connectors to access the repositories (including any authentication), and retrieve the document to view.

When you send a View action, View checks whether the requested reference is a Web URL or a local file. If it is, View retrieves it as normal. If it does not recognize the reference, View sends it to the configured Distributed Connector or NiFi for retrieval.

NOTE: For this viewing method to work, the connectors must recognize the document reference that you use. OpenText recommends that you use the `AUTN_IDENTIFIER` field as the reference, which all connectors use.

This method simplifies authentication and retrieval from your data repositories. However, it requires more network transfer than other viewing methods.
