# Index Documents into an IDOL Server

To index documents into an IDOL Server

1. Check that CFS is authorized to index documents into the IDOL index. In the IDOL Content configuration file, CFS must belong to an authorization role that includes the `admin`, `query`, and `index` standard roles.
2. Stop CFS.
3. Open the CFS configuration file.

4. In the `[Indexing]` section, use the `IndexerSections` parameter to specify the names of the sections that contain indexing settings. If this parameter is already set, add the name of the new indexer to the list. For example:

       [Indexing]
       IndexerSections=IdolServer

5. Create a new section in the CFS configuration file, with the same name that you specified in the `IndexerSections` parameter. In the new section, set the following parameters:

   `Host` | The host name or IP address of the IDOL Server.
   `Port` | The ACI Port of the IDOL Server.
   `DefaultDatabaseName` | The name of the IDOL database to index a document into when the `DREDBNAME` document field is not set.
   `SSLConfig` | (Optional) The name of a section in the CFS configuration file that contains SSL settings for connecting to IDOL. Set this parameter if your IDOL Server is configured to accept connections over SSL. For more information about the configuration parameters you can use to configure SSL connections, refer to the Connector Framework Server Reference.
   `CreateDatabase` | (Optional, default `false`) Specifies whether IDOL should create databases that do not already exist. For example, if you set this parameter to `TRUE` and the database specified in a `DREDBNAME` document field does not exist, IDOL Server will create it.

   For example:

       [IdolServer]
       Host=idol
       Port=9000
       DefaultDatabaseName=News
       SSLConfig=SSLOptions

       [SSLOptions]
       SSLMethod=NEGOTIATE

   For more information about these parameters and other parameters that you can set to customize the indexing process, refer to the Connector Framework Server Reference.

6. Save and close the configuration file.
