     If an authentication database is specified in the connection string, you should use the /defaultauthdb component; only use the ?authsource=defaultauthdb option if credentials are specified in the connection string.

3. Enter the username and password to be used to log into your Data Repository Server.

   • If you chose Connection String as your connection mode, you have the option to specify credentials in either the connection string or in the Username and Password fields. If credentials are specified in both, those in the Username and Password fields will take precedence.
