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 | Log on through a Vantage client application, such as BTEQ, to verify that their user credentials are set up correctly in the directory. |
| tdgssauth | Use tdgssauth to test TDGSS security mechanism configurations on Unity servers and Vantage nodes. tdgssauth is used before bringing new configurations live, to test and correct authentication, authorization, and policy failures offline. It can test LDAP, Kerberos, and TDNEGO configurations. |
| tdsbind | Use tdsbind to verify directory user mapping to Vantage users, roles, profiles, and IP filters, or to test edits to LDAP mechanism property values before using the run_tdgssconfig tool to create the TDGSSCONFIG.bin. |
| ldapsearch | Use ldapsearch to examine directory user attributes when investigating the source of user problems. |
