If the password is to be embedded in the task, "Password" parameter is used then. The value for "Password" parameter is given via the Password editor. When clicked, the Password editor opens and the user may specify the desired password.The "Protocol" parameter has a special drop-down editor and the user selects from the list the desired option for this activity. The default value is "HTTP". IN arguments can be defined for drop-down editors but the value inserted as input must be equal to one of the drop-down list options.
