Optional: Logon Mechanisms

The default logon mechanism for a Teradata connection in DBeaver is TD2. To use a different logon mechanism, create a copy of the Teradata driver and update the URL template.

1. Go to Database -> Driver Manager.

2. From the list of driver names, select Teradata and click Copy.

3. In the URL Template field, define your selected logon mechanism. For example, to use LDAP, enter:

   jdbc:teradata://{host}/LOGMECH=LDAP,DATABASE={database},DBS_PORT={port}
   

   

4. Click "OK".

5. The copied driver is now available for creating connections with the selected logon mechanism.
6. The process for setting up a new connection with the alternative logon mechanism is the same as described above for adding a new connection.
