    Add parameter "Max Monitored Items per Subscription"

    Support Kerberos for adapters on Linux

    Adapters are supported on Ubuntu, which also provides support for Kerberos (https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/explanation/intro-to/kerberos/) Adding Kerberos support would increase the options for deploying adapters securely.
