Attribute Dialog
You use the Attribute dialog to create or modify attributes for an existing Server Connection Definition.
For more information, see Create an Attribute for an Existing Server Connection Definition or Modify an Attribute for an Existing Server Connection Definition.
The General page lets you specify new or modify existing attribute information for the Server Connection Definition. It contains the following fields:
Definition Name

Specifies the name of the attribute:
• authentication_mechanism

Attribute information is private
