Arguments

mechanism

specifies the logon authentication mechanism. Currently, the valid value is LDAP.

Requirement The driver requires an 8-character input value. To submit, pad the value with four spaces as follows:
TD_LOG_MECH_TYPE="LDAP    "

Details

If the user connected via LDAP with the UID connection option, there is no reason to use this option. Use TD_LOG_MECH_TYPE= and TD_LOG_MECH_DATA= to allow LDAP authentication for TPT if the user did not specify LDAP authentication for UID in the connect string. You can also use this option with TD_LOG_MECH_DATA= to override the LDAP ID specified in the UID option with a different LDAP ID.
