* Authentication method - BASIC / TEMPAUTH / KEYSTONE / KEYSTONE\_V3
  * in the case of KEYSTONE\_V3 authentication method, you also need to enter `Authentication method scope`, `Domain` and `Project`
* Name of Swift service intended to be used
* Number of thread used (Swift connector supports multithreading)
