My organisation requires connections to Teradata to use LDAP authentication. This option should be available in PowerBI. It was previously requested in Power Query but is not yet delivered: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2c3c74a8-6ef9-4c34-8dec-83d21d041e39/how-to-connect-to-teradata-with-ldap-authentication-via-powerquery?forum=powerquery

RE: Connect to Teradata using LDAP Authentication

Hi All, we managed to connect using LDAP Authentication but via ODBC connection :-)
So, this is a work around :-)

RE: Connect to Teradata using LDAP Authentication

My fortune 100 company uses LDAP to connect to Teradata. I would like to see this and I do not want to hold my breath for another 3 years.

Bump - this is an enterprise level issue, can't figure out how it's taken so long.

RE: Connect to Teradata using LDAP Authentication

Same problem in my customers' environment. When authenticating with Active Directory credentials I get an authentication error. " We couldn´t authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again." The authentication works with native Teradata credentials. When will Active Directory authentication be supported?
