The Server URL must include the correct port number and path if applicable. The Username and Password are the same as you use when logging into the web server.
The password entry is displayed on the following connection form. You can specify your password or login ticket. When single sign-on authentication is disabled, specify password. When single sign-on authentication is enabled, specify login ticket instead:
Also, you may specify whether Eclipse Plug-in should override the java.net.ssl.truststore VM option with hard coded default values ($JAVA_HOME\lib\security\cacerts). The latter option requires restarting the Eclipse in order to apply.
Use the Test Connection button to make sure the connection is working. If it fails the error message will be helpful.
