Follow these steps:

1. In the Properties page, enter a name of a property key in the Properties text box.
2. Click Add New.

   The Edit Property screen appears.

3. Enter a property value in the Property Value text box.
4. In the Type field, select a database type from the drop-down list.
5. (Optional) Select the Encrypt Property check box to encrypt a property.

   Note: Some common properties (bootstrap) cannot be encrypted.

6. Click Save.

   The new property key appears in the Property Settings screen.
