In NAV 2017 there are two new options for “Credentials Type”: TaskScheduler and EchangeIdentity.
“Credential Type” -> “AS IS” Documentation “Specifies the authentication mechanism for Microsoft Dynamics NAV users of this Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance.” The options are “Windows, Username, NavUserPassword, and AccessControlService”.
But… What about others features ? “TaskScheduler”, “EchangeIdentity”, “None” ?
In reality now there are three not documented options in the online help and also in NAV admin console help: “TaskScheduler”, “EchangeIdentity”, “None” …the option “None” was already existing in 2016, undocumented.

I asked Microsoft to update the documentation on MSDN (not updated from NAV 2016), useful in explaining exactly the “scope” and the “ByDesign” concept of each option. I’ll let you know!
