+% description: addconnection adds a new managed connection to the
+%              repository manager.
+%              this method still adds a new connection. it doesn't open by
+%              default the connection and for this reason it is not
+%              necessary to define a password yet.
+%
+% call:        conn = rm.addconnection(pl);
+%              conn = rm.addconnection('hostname');
+%              conn = rm.addconnection('hostname', 'database');
+%              conn = rm.addconnection('hostname', 'database', 'username');
+%              conn = rm.addconnection('hostname', 'database', 'username', 'password');
