Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

For using the Authentication methods not supported in MCP Server, you can use the Connection and Credential Alias method to create the Alias manually and then update it in the MCP Server. For using OAuth based authentication method, first create the OAuth entity profile and then create the Connection and Credential Alias. For other authentication methods like API Key, Basic Auth, AWS Credentials, SSH Credentials, create the connection and credential Alias directly.
