Behavior

If set to UserIDPassword, the driver uses your user name and password for authentication.

If set to OAuth2, the driver authenticates using OAuth. When OAuth2 is specified as the authentication method, you must also set the accessToken parameter to specify the OAuth access token.

If set to BrowserBasedSSO, the driver uses your web browser to authenticate with Okta, ADFS, or any other SAML 2.0-compliant identity provider (IdP) that has been defined for your account.

If set to KeyPair, the driver uses a pair of private and public keys for authentication.
