Password

None

Yes, if the authentication mechanism is TD2, and you are using a connection string that does not specify a reference string for the database password.

Description

The password that you use to access the database.

Note:

  • This property is applicable in connection strings only. For security reasons, the connector does not allow password values to be saved in DSNs.
  • To provide your password in a DSN, you must use the Teradata Wallet utility to map your password to a reference string, and then set the Password Wallet String (or WalletString) property to the reference string. For more information, see Password Wallet String and Teradata Wallet.
