Answer Server 23.4

# IDOLHost

The host name or IP address of the IDOL Content component or Agentstore component that the system must connect to. You must also specify the component ACI port by using the IDOLACIPort parameter.

For a system where Type is set to `AnswerBank`, this parameter points to the Agentstore component that stores questions and question equivalence classes.

For a system where Type is set to `PassageExtractor`, this parameter points to the Content component that contains the data that you want to use to find answers.

NOTE: If you configure a synonym store, Answer Server can use synonyms to expand queries. To enable synonyms with passage extractor, set this parameter to point to the QMS that provides access to your synonyms, and specify the details of the Content component in the QMS configuration file instead.

This parameter is not required for systems where Type is set to `FactBank`.

IMPORTANT: If you set IDOLGSSServiceName, you must set `IDOLHost` to a fully qualified domain name (that is, you cannot use `localhost`, an IP address, or a host without the domain name, even if these values resolve to the correct server). Answer Server retrieves the Kerberos realm from the child server host name.
