The driver supports user ID/password and Kerberos authentication with the AuthenticationMethod connection property.

When AuthenticationMethod=userIdPassword (default), the driver uses SCRAM-SHA-1 user ID/password authentication. The User property provides the user ID, and the Password property provides the password.

When AuthenticationMethod=kerberos, the driver uses Kerberos authentication.

When AuthenticationMethod=none, the driver does not attempt to authenticate with the server.
