# Configure OAuth Authentication

Before you can retrieve information from OpenText Core Content, you must configure authentication by following these steps.

To configure OAuth authentication (ACI 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:

   `AppKey` | A client ID that you must obtain from the OpenText Core Content application.
   `AppSecret` | A client secret that you must obtain from the OpenText Core Content application.
   `CustomValue0` | The user name to use.
   `CustomValue1` | The password to use.
   `CustomValue2` | The OpenText Core Content subscription name.
   `TokenUrl` | Replace the placeholder `{auth-api-host}` with the correct value for your OpenText Core Content instance.

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

   `oauth_tool.exe oauth_tool.cfg OAuthTool`

   The OAuth tool creates the files `oauth.cfg` and `oauth2_sites.bin`. When you configure the connector, import the parameters from `oauth.cfg` into your task configuration. For information about how to configure a task and retrieve information from OpenText Core Content, see Retrieve Information from OpenText Core Content.

2. Click the OAUTH SETUP tab.
3. Provide the details that are requested.
