# System Requirements

SharePoint Remote Connector can be installed as part of a larger system that includes an IDOL Server and an interface for the information stored in IDOL Server. To maximize performance, Micro Focus recommends that you install IDOL Server and the connector on different machines.

You can install the connector and CFS on the same machine and hard disk. However, to maximize performance, Micro Focus recommends that you install the connector and CFS on separate machines.

## Connector Machine

To use the SharePoint Remote Connector, the connector machine must meet the following requirements.

- SharePoint Server 2013 Client Components SDK.
- Windows Identity Foundation 3.5.

- Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0 or later. To communicate with the repository using TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.1, the connector requires the .NET Framework version 4.5 or later.

For information about the minimum system requirements required to run IDOL components, including SharePoint Remote Connector, refer to the IDOL Getting Started Guide.

## SharePoint Server

To place and release holds, you must install a web service on the SharePoint server. For more information about installing the web service, see Install the Web Service for Placing Holds.

## OmniGroupServer

To use Mapped Security to protect documents that you extract from SharePoint and index into IDOL, you must install OmniGroupServer. The connector requires OmniGroupServer 7.5 or later. OmniGroupServer can be installed anywhere on the system, but it must be able to communicate with the connector, your Active Directory, and your IDOL Server. When you install the OmniGroupServer, you must install at least the Combine, LDAP and Text components.
