Teradata Vantageā„¢

Before a supported directory can authenticate and authorize user access to Teradata Vantage, you must create Teradata schema objects in the DIT, and arrange them in the required hierarchical relationship to other directory objects.

You can place the tdatRootNode object, labeled cn=tdat, anywhere in the hierarchy, but you must locate all child objects exactly as shown in diagram.

where:

Row DN Object Class Description Defined by Object Class
Top dc=domain, dc=com dcObject Top-level directory object Standard directory schema
Middle ou=people organizationalUnit Directory object that contains individual person objects
ou=groups organizationalUnit Directory object that contains user and database objects
cn=tdat tdatRootNode Teradata Root Node object.
This is the suggested location for the Root Node object. However, you can locate it elsewhere in the directory.
Teradata directory schema extensions
Bottom cn=systemone tdatSystem Directory object that defines Teradata Vantage system 1. Teradata directory schema extension
cn=systemtwo tdatSystem Teradata object that defines Teradata Vantage system 2.
cn=administrators groupOfNames Directory object that defines the administrator group. Standard directory schema
cn=dbas groupOfNames Directory object that defines the group dbas. Enter the DN of each directory user in the groupOfNames member attribute, to give them group membership.
uid=bwq person Directory objects that define individual directory users.
uid=jcm person
