Run tdsbind from the Teradata Vantage command prompt. Enter the tdsbind options needed for your test, for example:
su - teradata tdsbind [-u dir_user | -U td_user] –option value -option value...
The following rules apply when using tdsbind:
- Become the teradata user (su - teradata) if the system is configured for CA certificates as part of setting up SSL/TLS. This causes tdsbind to run under the Linux user teradata instead of root, which accurately represents how the system processes authentication when CA certificates are present. Also see SSL/TLS Protection Options.
- You can specify tdsbind options in any order, but they must be separated by spaces.
- The input is case sensitive, for example, the meaning of -u is completely different than -U.
- Options that have a corresponding LDAP mechanism property, for example -B (LdapBaseFQDN) are deprecated, although still usable. Where possible, use -O to specify the corresponding LDAP property values in a space-separated list instead of using the individual deprecated options.If you simultaneously specify an LDAP property value in the -O option, for example LdapBaseFQDN, and also specify the corresponding standalone option (-B), tdsbind fails.
