Configure non-Kerberos authentication

If you don't use Kerberos authentication, you can authenticate with or without configuration files.
    bulletIf you have the following XML configuration files on your machine, place the files in a directory, for example: /data/Non-Kerberos
    If you don't have XML configuration files on your machine, continue to Create a connection.
