| Property | Description |
| AuthScheme | The scheme used for authentication. Accepted entries are Password, AzureAD, AzurePassword, AzureMSI, AwsIAMRoles, AwsEC2Roles, LDAP. |
| Server | The host name or IP address of the server. Supports cluster servers, for example '192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2'. |
| Port | The port of the MySQL server. Supports cluster servers, for example: '3306, 3307', the number of the port should match with Servers. |
| User | Specifies the user ID of the authenticating MySQL user account. |
| Password | Specifies the password of the authenticating user account. |
| Database | The name of the MySQL database. |
| Domain | The name of the domain for a Windows (NTLM) security login. |
| NTLMVersion | The NTLM version. |
| IntegratedUser | The user that is authenticating to the Windows. |
| UseSSL | This field sets whether SSL is enabled. |
| Property | Description |
| AWSAccessKey | Specifies your AWS account access key. This value is accessible from your AWS security credentials page. |
| AWSSecretKey | Your AWS account secret key. This value is accessible from your AWS security credentials page. |
| AWSRoleARN | The Amazon Resource Name of the role to use when authenticating. |
| Property | Description |
| AzureTenant | Identifies the MySQL tenant being used to access data, either by name (for example, contoso.omnicrosoft.com) or ID. (Conditional). |
| Property | Description |
| InitiateOAuth | Specifies the process for obtaining or refreshing the OAuth access token, which maintains user access while an authenticated, authorized user is working. |
| OAuthClientId | Specifies the client Id that was assigned the custom OAuth application was created. (Also known as the consumer key.) This ID registers the custom application with the OAuth authorization server. |
| OAuthClientSecret | Specifies the client secret that was assigned when the custom OAuth application was created. (Also known as the consumer secret ). This secret registers the custom application with the OAuth authorization server. |
| OAuthAccessToken | A token received after authentication to the OAuth network, granting the user access. The access token is used in place of the user's login ID and password, which stay on the server. |
| OAuthSettingsLocation | Specifies the location of the settings file where OAuth values are saved. Storing OAuth settings in a central location avoids the need for users to enter OAuth connection properties manually each time they log in. It also enables credentials to be shared across connections or processes. |
| OAuthVerifier | Specifies a verifier code returned from the OAuthAuthorizationURL . Used when authenticating to OAuth on a headless server, where a browser can't be launched. Requires both OAuthSettingsLocation and OAuthVerifier to be set. |
| OAuthRefreshToken | Gets and refreshes the currently-active OAuth Access Token. |
| OAuthExpiresIn | Specifies the duration in seconds, of an OAuth Access Token's lifetime. The token can be reissued to keep access alive as long as the user keeps working. |
| OAuthTokenTimestamp | Displays a Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds that shows how long ago the current Access Token was created. |
| Property | Description |

| SSLClientCertType | Specifies the type of key store containing the TLS/SSL client certificate for SSL Client Authentication. Choose from a variety of key store formats depending on your platform and certificate source. |
| SSLClientCertPassword | Specifes the password required to access the TLS/SSL client certificate store. Use this property if the selected certificate store type requires a password for access. |
| SSLClientCertSubject | Specifes the subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate to locate it in the certificate store. Use a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields, such as CN=www.server.com, C=US. The wildcard * selects the first certificate in the store. |

| FirewallUser | Identifies the user ID of the account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallPassword | Specifies the password of the user account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
| Property | Description |
| ProxyAutoDetect | Specifies whether the provider checks your system proxy settings for existing proxy server configurations, rather than using a manually specified proxy server. |
| ProxyServer | The hostname or IP address of the proxy server that you want to route HTTP traffic through. |
| ProxyPort | The TCP port on your specified proxy server (set in the ProxyServer connection property) that has been reserved for routing HTTP traffic to and from the client. |
