# Get a Host Connector's connection profile token

The [openvpn-connector-setup](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-connector-setup) tool configures the OpenVPN 3 Linux client to connect as a Connector. This utility uses the Host Connector's token to download its configuration profile and complete the configuration.

By default, this tool will:

- Download a connection profile.
- Configure the profile to be used at boot time
- Connect to CloudConnexa and ensure that it reconnects on reboot.

The Connector integrated with Cockpit also uses the connection profile token. For more information, refer to [Tutorial: Use the Linux OpenVPN 3 Connector integrated with Cockpit](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/tutorials/configuration-tutorials/connectors/operating-systems/linux/tutorial--use-the-linux-openvpn-3-connector-integrated-with-cockpit.md).

You can get the Connector's profile for an existing Host from the Connectors tab shown in the detailed view as shown in [View, make changes, and delete a Host](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/hosts/hosts---hosts/view-make-changes-and-delete-a-host.md), or you can obtain it from the Connectors list as shown below:

1. Sign in to the CloudConnexa Administration Portal using your WPC's **Cloud ID** address (for example, `yourcompany.openvpn.com`).
2. Navigate to **Hosts \> Connectors**.
3. Click the **Deploy**  button for the Connector from the list.
4. Select **Copy .ovpn Profile Token** from the drop-down menu.
5. Click **Copy** to copy the token to your clipboard.

Later, paste it into your terminal to use with the `openvpn-connector-setup` command to setup the Connector on Linux OS.
