Specifies the type of authentication to use to connect. Select one of the following options:
Windows Authentication

Note: This option is available only for Oracle and SQL Server.
Database Authentication
Lets you enter a User Name and Password for the connection.
Lets you specify the parameters and variables to use for your target server.
Note: Since the parameters and variables vary depending on your target server, see the Database Connection Parameters for database-specific information.
