Creating an Active Directory User for Each Node and Unity Server - Advanced SQL Engine - Teradata Database

Create an Active Directory user for each Teradata Vantage node and each Unity server you added to DNS in Adding a Database Node or Unity Server to the Windows DNS. This step is necessary in determining the Service Principal Name (SPN).

1. On the Active Directory server, click on Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. Right click on the OU where the user is to be created.
3. Click on New > User.
4. In the dialog box, enter the name of the node or Unity server for both User logon name and First name. Use the names assigned in step 4 of Creating a Computer Component for Database Nodes and Unity Server, for example: tdatsysa1-1.
5. Click Next.
6. Enter a password and reenter it to confirm.
7. If site policy allows it, check the Password never expiresbox. Otherwise, check User cannot change password.
8. Click Next.
9. Repeat this procedure for each node of each Teradata Vantage system and each Unity server that is served by the KDC.

1. Regenerate the keys. See Running ktpass to Create the Kerberos Keys.
2. Re-install them on the nodes, and on Unity servers, if used. See Installing the Kerberos Keys.
