TDGSS LdapCredentialIsUPN Property | Teradata Vantage - LdapCredentialIsUPN - Advanced SQL Engine - Teradata Database

For some logon forms, tells TDGSS how to interpret the portion of the logon string that identifies the user.

For example, for the BTEQ logon:

.logon  system/user,password

If the user specification is in the form “a@b” or a/b” or “a\b”, the setting of LdapCredentialIsUPN tells the system whether to treat the entire user specification as an Authcid or to use the special characters to construct a UPN.

Also see LDAP Logon Format Examples.

Default Property Value

The default value is yes.

Editing Guidelines

• If the LdapCredentialIsUPN property is absent or set to yes (the default), the system treats the user specification as a UPN, which must conform to the rules of IETF 1964.
  When considered as a UPN, the user specification, as shown in the example in the introductory text for this property (above), must appear in the logon as: “a\@b” or “a\/b” or “a\\b”, where the added backslash (\) character informs the system how to handle the character that follows.
• If the CredentialIsUPN property is set to no, the system disregards the special characters and considers the entire user specification to be a string representing the user Authcid.
