| User name | For this connection, only basic HTTP authentication is allowed; user name is required. Other types of authentication, e.g. Windows Authentication, are not supported. |
| Password | Password required for basic HTTP authentication. |
| SSL mode | Off: SSL is not used.
Trust: SSL certificate will be imported to the keystore if not yet available. Verify: SSL certificate is verified. Note: if the certificate has not been imported correctly, the following error message occurs: “Unable to find valid certification path to requested target”. |
