Add the app

    2. Click Edit.

      • Use PAP authentication: Select this option to use Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) authentication. When you select this option, the Require Message-Authenticator for incoming client requests checkbox appears. Select this option to require and verify the Message-Authenticator attribute and create a more secure authentication process.
