Transport The method of transport. Currently only TCP/IP is supported.
Encryption Select whether encryption has to be performed or not. Encryption, if performed, will be done in the RSA method. The default value is None. To get connected in the RSA mode, you have to make the corresponding change in the Siebel Server setup. Additionally, your Siebel Setup should be capable of working in RSA mode.

When using Resonate, if compression is required on the client as well as the server side, it must be specified for the client as well as the server side. The server, and the client, will compress the communication as defined by you. If you do not use Resonate, the server drives the compression and the client-side settings will be ignored.

Password Specify the password for the account to access the application.
