> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Below are the required fields to configure the Alternative connector.

| Field | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| Storage account | Specifies the Azure storage account that contains the blob container. |
| Azure blob container | Defines the blob container used to store XML files. |
| Password hash | Authentication key or password hash for accessing the storage. |
| Authentication | Select the required authentication method. When changed, this alters the password hash field to accept the chosen credential type. |
| Working path | Folder inside the container where XML files are read. |
| Archive path | Folder for successfully imported files. |
| Error path | Folder for files that failed validation or posting. |

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The default connector uses **Azure File Storage**. Other connector types (Azure Blob Storage, SharePoint, Web Service) are also supported but require an appropriate source document handler as described in [Changing the Source Document Handler](/manufacturing/docs/changing-the-source-document-handler).
