 client with `spring.cloud.config.discovery.serviceId` (and on the server
 in the usual way for a service, e.g. by setting `spring.application.name`).
 
+The discovery client implementations all support some kind of metadata
+map (e.g. for Eureka we have `eureka.instance.metadataMap`). Some
+additional properties of the Config Server may need to be configured
+in its service registration metadata so that clients can connect
+correctly. If the Config Server is secured with HTTP Basic you can
+configure the credentials as "username" and "password". And if the
+Config Server has a context path you can set "configPath". Example,
+for a Config Server that is a Eureka client:
