arcpy.da.Describe should return the same data as arcpy.Describe for a workspace (it does not currently)

[AJR]

The arcpy.Describe function when used against an enterprise geodatabase connection returns the server information (authentication_mode, database, user, instance, etc.) via. the connectionProperties method.  This information isn't available when using arcpy.da.Describe and it should be.

Thanks for your submission. This makes good sense and we'll look into the discrepancy.

Still an issue in AGP 3.4.3

We're working on this!  This status does not guarantee that the functionality will be in the next release, but development work has begun. Release cycles vary by product so make sure to check the product life cycle information to get an idea of when to expect the next release.

Good to fix this issue in future release so it can have consistent results.
