The OAuth authentication method with the grant_type "password" is used. Certainly you enter the username in the "authentication id" field and set the password as part of the driver parameters. When connecting to e.g. Salesforce this way you won't get a token since Salesforce expects username/password in the http request body. As a workaround you can enter username/password in the „authorization query options“. - This means the password is saved in cleartext.

-> The shim/driver parameters should allow the use of username (authentication id)/encrypted password in the http body (via checkbox, for instance)
