# Retrieve Groups from Documentum

This section describes how to configure OmniGroupServer to retrieve user and group information from Documentum.

To retrieve groups from Documentum

1. Open the OmniGroupServer configuration file.

2. In the `[Repositories]` section, set the parameter `JavaClassPath` to `ogs_java.jar`.

       [Repositories]
       JavaClassPath0=ogs_java.jar

3. In the `[Repositories]` section, create a repository to store the groups. For example:

       [Repositories]
       JavaClassPath0=ogs_java.jar
       Number=1
       0=Documentum

4. Create a section to contain the task details and set the following configuration parameters:

   `GroupServerLibrary` | The path (including the file name) to the library file that allows the group server to access the repository. Use the `ogs_java` library.
   `JavaGroupServerClass` | The class that implements the group server for the Documentum repository. Set this parameter to: `com.autonomy.groupserver.documentum.DocumentumGroupServer`
   `JavaClassPath` | Specify resources that are specific to this job.
   `Docbase` | A comma-separated list of docbase names for which you want to retrieve user and group information.
   `Username` | The user name that OmniGroupServer should use to authenticate with the Documentum API.
   `Password` | The password that OmniGroupServer should use to authenticate with the Documentum API.

   For example:

       [Documentum]
       GroupServerLibrary=ogs_java
       JavaGroupServerClass=com.autonomy.groupserver.documentum.DocumentumGroupServer
       JavaClassPath0=ogs_documentum.jar
       // DFC location
       JavaClassPath1=DFC_INSTALL_PATH/*.jar
       // dfc.properties for this job
       JavaClassPath2=./directory/

       Docbase=
       Username=
       Password=

   NOTE: The DFC (Documentum Foundation Classes) must be installed on the server, and the path added to the `JavaClassPath` (replacing `DFC_INSTALL_PATH` in the example above).

   You must also have a `dfc.properties` file that specifies the `DocBroker` host and port as follows:

       dfc.docbroker.host[0]=
       dfc.docbroker.port[0]=

   For a complete list of configuration parameters that you can use, refer to the OmniGroupServer Reference.

5. Save and close the OmniGroupServer configuration file.
