A VIA connection profile contains settings required by VIA to establish a secure connection to the controller. You
can configure multiple VIA connection profiles. A VIA connection profile is always associated to a user role and
all users belonging to that role will use the configured settings. If you do not assign a VIA connection profile to a
user role, the default connection profile is used.
