Use this tab to specify the process of verifying user login information for the TCP-A connection.

When authentication is properly configured, you can request a security credential from your application’s credential server and send the credential back to the server. If the credential is valid, your application will be logged in; you do not have to enter a user ID or password. If the credential is not valid however, you will be prompted for a user ID and a password.
