During this installation, you will be asked for additional data, after the script has started. - In most of the cases, the script will provide default values that you can simply select by pressing enter. If you are unsure about the information you need to give, we recommend you use these default values.
- For creating the Confluence BDC model file, the content access account for SharePoint (domain\username) is required.
- You can find this account in → SharePoint Central Administration → Manage service applications → Search Service Application → Search Administration → System Status → Default content access account
 Image Removed - In case the Confluence BDC model file already exists on the provided path, you will be asked if you want to replace it, or use the existing file to continue with the installation.
- For creating the secure store service target application, the following parameters are required:
- Contact e-mail address of the primary contact for the Target Application: this has to be a valid e-mail address.
- Target Application administrator account (domain\username): Account that will have administration permission for the Secure Store Service target application. The farm administrator will have access by default.
- Content Access Account of the Search Service Application (domain\username): Account that will be the owner of the Secure Store Service target application credentials (see above for where to find this account)
- Web service username (for access to Confluence): Confluence administrator account (without a domain put in front)

The script checks whether the Search Connector solution is already installed and if so, asks whether you want to update the solution.
