Using a JSON Web Token (JWT)

You can configure the connector to authenticate the connection using a token obtained from the UDA User Service. To do this, you need to specify the token as one of your additional authentication parameters.

If you want to save the token parameter in your DSN, you must first install and configure the Teradata Wallet utility, and then use it to map your token parameter to a reference string. You would then save that reference string instead of your token parameter in your DSN. For more information, see Teradata Wallet.

To configure JWT authentication:

  1. To access authentication options, open the ODBC Data Source Administrator where you created the DSN, select the DSN, and then click Configure.
  2. From the Mechanism drop-down list, select JWT.
  3. In the Parameter Wallet String field, type the Teradata Wallet reference string that is mapped to the token parameter that specifies your JWT.
  4. To save your settings and close the dialog box, click OK.
