Just wanted to share our experience with getting Teradata integration configured and there was a syntax issue with Documentation.

Make sure you get the driver version JDBC Driver 16.20.00.11 : Teradata JDBC Driver Sample Programs
and use the argument LOGMECH=LDAP in the extra_parameters as well as the other default settings like ANSI and UTF8.
Following these simple steps will allow you to connect and query the database. We've just spent 4 days trying to get this work and I hope it will save you that research time.


Documentation unfortunately shows a question mark in the driver.url which will not work.
It also missed the setLoginTimeout and port settings, although these were not crucial in making the connection work.
