You can use one or more of the following methods to check Teradata Vantage-related directory entries, either as a spot check upon completing directory setup, or later to investigate user problems.
| Tool | Usage |
|---|---|
| BTEQ or other Teradata Vantage client application | Lets user log on through a Vantage client application, such as BTEQ, to verify that their user credentials are set up correctly in the directory. |
| tdgsstestcfg | Allows the user to test the changes made to the user configuration file before making those changes active with run_tdgssconfig. This tool launches a test environment in a new shell that contains the updates made to the configuration file. From the new shell, run the appropriate test tools as needed, such as tdgssauth. |
