| 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 (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication. |
| OAuthClientSecret | Specifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.). |
| OAuthAccessToken | Specifies the OAuth access token used to authenticate requests to the data source. This token is issued by the authorization server after a successful OAuth exchange. |
| OAuthSettingsLocation | Specifies the location of the settings file where OAuth values are saved. |
| 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. |
| 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 |
| KerberosKDC | Identifies the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) service used to authenticate the user. (SPNEGO or Windows authentication only). |
| KerberosRealm | Identifies the Kerberos Realm used to authenticate the user. |

| 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. |
| SSLServerCert | Specifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL. |
| Property | Description |
| SSHAuthMode | The authentication method used when establishing an SSH Tunnel to the service. |
| SSHClientCert | A certificate to be used for authenticating the SSHUser. |
| SSHClientCertPassword | The password of the SSHClientCert key if it has one. |
| SSHClientCertSubject | The subject of the SSH client certificate. |
| SSHClientCertType | The type of SSHClientCert private key. |
| SSHServer | The SSH server. |
| SSHPort | The SSH port. |
| SSHUser | The SSH user. |
| SSHPassword | The SSH password. |
| SSHServerFingerprint | The SSH server fingerprint. |
