The .NET Data Provider currently supports the following session authentication mechanisms - TD2 (Teradata method 2), SPNEGO, LDAP, TDNEGO, JWT and EXTERNALBROWSER. For a full description of these mechanisms, please reference the Teradata Security Administration chapter on Generic Security Services Library (TDGSS) - Managing Network Security. The default mechanism will be supplied from a client TeraGSS configuration file if defined and secondarily from a server TDGSS configuration file. The default installation of the TDGSS server configuration file sets the value to TD2. The client default TeraGSS configuration file does not set a default value.

Default Value: Please see the Teradata Security Administration User Manual discussion on the Generic Security Services Library (TDGSS) - Managing Network Security.

EXTERNALBROWSER Value: The Data Provider will launch the system-browser in order for the interactive user to authenticate with the Identity Provider. This feature must only be used in Desktop applications where a user can interact with the system browser. This feature must not be used in Server-Application scenarios. The Identity Provider must support OpenID Connect and the UserId, Password and AuthenticationMechanism properties must be null or empty.

JWT Value: The UserId and the Password properties must not have a value (null or empty) and the format for the AuthenticationString property is "token=JWT" where JWT is the JSON Web Token to be used for authentication.
