    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

    Still looking for LDAP as an option when using Teradata as a data source. Any plans for this to be added in a future release?

    Please add LDAP connector to Power BI as we really need this for our systems.

    This is an urgent requirement for enterprise use. Please can Microsoft provide feedback on it?

    This was posted here too. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Teradata-and-LDAP/m-p/34286/highlight/true#M3571

    Any chance MSFT would publish the source code for the Teradata .NET connector ?
    The fix is actually straight-forward: enable the 'connection string' edit field available for other connectors and one can add any applicable parameter, in this case "...;Authentication Mechanism=LDAP"

    RE: Connect to Teradata using LDAP Authentication

    Not having the LDAP connector is holding back our adoption of Power BI, it would be really good to have this sorted :-)

    RE: Connect to Teradata using LDAP Authentication

    Now that custom connectors are out, can this be patched to allow LDAP ? Or can MSFT publish the code for the community to take over and make some enhancements ?
    This is really a bottleneck if you wish to use DirectQuery as the workaround, using ODBC driver, does not allow DirectQuery. A real bummer when you have a 100M dataset...

    RE: Connect to Teradata using LDAP Authentication

    Is there any progress ? When will be possible to connect to Teradata using .NET provider with LDAP ?
