Typically, these fields are configured at installation and are no longer visible from this configuration page. If you are manually configuring the integration between BI Publisher and BI Presentation Catalog and these fields are visible, you can leave them blank, as BI Publisher automatically reads the values from the security store.

   • Connection Protocol — TCP
