SAP Saved Systems Extension

SAP Saved systems extension allows you to save the connection information for a remote system. This functionality provides faster authentication when using the system with SAP development tooling. The credentials are saved in the operating system secured storage, such as Credential Manager in Windows and Keychain in Mac.
