Add Multiple Directory Services to TDGSS | Teradata Vantage - Completing the <LdapConfig> Configuration Change - Analytics Database - Teradata Vantage

After you complete the editing of the TDGSS configuration file to include the <LdapConfig> section, you should test the configuration before committing the configuration on the Teradata Vantage system.

1. Verify the configuration is correct:
   1. Run tdgsstestcfg to test the configuration. It launches a test environment in a new shell that contains the updates to the configuration file.

      /opt/teradata/tdgss/bin/tdgsstestcfg

   2. Use the tdgssauth utility to test the new <LdapConfig> to verify that users from each service can be authenticated.
      • Specify a directory user and the necessary options using tdgssauth -u dir_user.

        See Working with tdgssauth.

      • Check the output.
      • If the authentication fails, exit the test shell and make the necessary configuration changes and rerun tdgsstestcfg and tdgssauth until the authentication succeeds.
   3. Exit the test shell:

      exit

2. On the Vantage system, run the run_tdgssconfig utility to update the TDGSSCONFIG GDO with the new version of the <LdapConfig>.

   /opt/teradata/tdgss/bin/run_tdgssconfig

3. If run_tdgssconfig indicates that a TPA reset is required, run tpareset.

   tpareset -f "use updated TDGSSCONFIG GDO"
