# Configure OAuth Authentication

Before using the connector, you must configure authentication with InfoArchive.

To configure OAuth authentication

- To configure the NiFi Ingest connector

  1. In the NiFi web interface, right-click the processor and click Configure.
  2. Click ADVANCED, and complete the guided setup wizard. Then configure OAuth using the OAUTH SETUP tab.

- To configure the standard connector

  1. Open the folder where you installed the connector.
  2. Open the file `oauth_tool.cfg` in a text editor.

  3. In the `[Default]` section, set any SSL or proxy settings that are required to access the repository:

     `SSLMethod` | The version of SSL/TLS to use.
     `ProxyHost` | The host name or IP address of the proxy server to use.
     `ProxyPort` | The port of the proxy server to use.

     For example:

         SSLMethod=NEGOTIATE
         ProxyHost=10.0.0.1
         ProxyPort=8080

  4. In the `[OAuthTool]` section, set the following parameters:

     `TokenUrl` | Set this parameter so that the OAuth Token URL matches the location where your InfoArchive application is deployed.
     `AppKey` | The "clientId" from the InfoArchive `application-CLIENTS.yml` file.
     `AppSecret` | The "clientSecret" from the InfoArchive `application-CLIENTS.yml` file.
     `CustomValue0` | The scope to use when authenticating with the InfoArchive API.
     `CustomValue1` | The user name to use when authenticating with the InfoArchive API.
     `CustomValue2` | The password to use when authenticating with the InfoArchive API.

     Do not modify the other parameters in this section.

  5. Open a command-line window and run the following command.

     `oauth_tool.exe oauth_tool.cfg OAuthTool`

  6. The OAuth tool displays a message stating that the files `oauth.cfg` and `oauth2_sites.bin` have been created. These files contain the information the connector needs to authenticate with InfoArchive. When you configure the connector, import the parameters from `oauth.cfg` into your task configuration. For more information about including parameters from another file, see Include an External Configuration File.

  7. You can now use the connector.
