authentication failed with LDAP user

[paoloalba]

I am trying to connect to a DB instance through LDAP validated credentials, but I continuously get an authentication failed exception. The credentials work fine with another JAVA application, and password validated credentials work fine with python. Is the error on the dialect level or on hdbcli? Is there any parameter that can be passed in order to make the connection successful?

@paoloalba have you tried it without sqlalchemy-hana, so just pure hdbcli? sqlalchemy-hana passes everything down to hdbcli, therefore authentication is handled by hdbcli itself.

Also, please provide the related python code:

• code which shows the error using sqlalchemy-hana
• code which shows that with pure hdbcli it works

I just tried with pure hdbcli, and I get the same error. If you rule out that anything extra could be passed from the dialect side, I will report the bug to the SAP community.

As far as I can tell you, this is the case. Please report the bug as you pointed out
