Manage connection profiles

A global connection profile specifies the information that ETS for the Web needs to connect to a node, such as credentials and ports. Each global connection profile can be applied to multiple nodes. You can define multiple connection profiles. When connection information changes (for example, a password is updated), you can update the value for all associated nodes in one place.
