There are 3 tabs to the database resource.

The first tab you specify the driver class, which may need to be imported via the jar manager.

The properties file is if you wish to set the connection properties via a file,

for instance in the case shown, you could override the username and password by creating a file props.txt

user=admin
password=presadmin
