So I need to admit I am absolutely lost in an attempt to use a connection for an existing ArcGIS Portal Feature Service.

I have spent hours to find my way to create a connection for the parameters I need in order to access an existing ArcGIS Portal Feature Service and I fail miserably. I get lost in dialogs where I feel like I need to learn Web development instead of just saving the infos I need in order to use it later on.

The Information I have and I need to access the existing portal Feature Service is:

Url
Feature Service
method
user
password

... and instead of allowing me to save a connection with these parameters I am sent on a journey through Feature service templates where I don't have the slightest idea what I need to input.

This kind of frustrating adventure is absolutely normal for too many tools out there, but I am not used to this from my long time FME experience.

Where have I lost my way ? And please don't come up with details like REST call so and so ;-(
