Editing Guidelines
- If you disable a mechanism on the Teradata Vantage system, it is unavailable for use, even if the mechanism is enabled on Vantage clients.
- You can disable a mechanism on a client to make it unavailable for only that client.If you disable a mechanism on a client, the mechanism does not appear in client application menus.
- For TDNEGO, this property can be set independently at the client and Vantage server. To turn off TDNEGO, set MechanismEnabled to no on all Vantage servers (see Disabling TDNEGO for other properties that must be set to disable TDNEGO). If MechanismEnabled is turned off for a mechanism offered by TDNEGO, that mechanism is not offered by TDNEGO and is also not available independently apart from TDNEGO.
