Possible Values

Data Type

string

Default Value

"None"

Remarks

General

The following options are generally available to all connections:

• None: Uses no authentication.
• Basic: Uses Basic authentication with User and Password.
• OAuth: Uses either OAuth1 or OAuth2, with the specific flow being determined by the OAuthGrantType. OAuthVersion must be set to determine what version of OAuth is used.
• OAuthPKCE: Uses OAuth2 with the authorization code grant type and PKCE extension. OAuthClientId is the credential.
• AwsCognitoSrp: Set to use Cognito based authentication. This is recommended over AwsCognitoBasic because this option does NOT send the password to the server for authentication, instead it uses the SRP protocol.
• AwsCognitoBasic: Set to use Cognito based authentication.
