Teradata LDAP configuration. #169

Open TauqeerAhmad104 opened 8 months ago

TauqeerAhmad104 commented 8 months ago

I am trying to create a POC where I need to configure Teradata with Windows LDAP. I have set LDAP and also configured it successfully with TdgssUserConfigFile.xml. The test is successful and if I manually create a profile and LDAP user in Teradata I managed to log in with the LDAP mechanism. Challenges started when I wanted to do Auto-Provisioning. The documentation on this topic is not easy to follow and has no path of the files I need to change or file name where to make changes. Directory user mapping with vantage is also complex and not a way to follow for example. 

dn: cn=profile1,ou=profiles,cn=systemone,cn=tdat,dc=domain,dc=com
changeType: modify
add: member
member: uid=dirUser7,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com

dn: cn=profile2,ou=profiles,cn=systemone,cn=tdat,dc=domain,dc=com
changeType: modify
add: member
member: uid=dirUser3,ou=people,cn=domain,cn=com

This is an example provided in the documentation but where to update the above information? what is the name of the file or path of the file? This is the link to the documentation.
Can you please provide an example for this topic? I want to make a setup if users are authenticated with LDAP they should log in to the default database if they don't have any database or profile in Teradata. Thanks.
