# HPCC LexisNexis

To connect, set the following connection properties.

Set Url to the machine name or IP address of the server and the port the server is running on, for example, [https://server:port](https://docs.appstrategy.com/apprules-r-documentation/platform/platform-features/system-settings/data-sources/connection-settings/bigdata/https:/server:port). The User and Password are required to authenticate to the HPCC system specified in Url. Note that LDAP authentication is not currently supported.

Set Version to the WsSQL Web server version. Note that if you have not already done so, you will need to install the WsSQL service on the HPCC server. The connector uses the WsSQL Web service to interact with the underlying HPCC system.

Set Cluster to the target cluster.
