      <ol>
        <li>Open the <strong>Connections</strong> page of the {siteNameShort} dashboard.</li>
        <li>Click <strong>Add Connection</strong> to open the <strong>Select Connectors</strong> page.</li>
        <li>
          Click the <strong>{destination ? "Destinations" : "Sources"}</strong> tab and locate
          the <strong>{title}</strong> row.

        <li>
          Click the <strong>Configure Connection</strong> icon at the end of that row to open
          the <strong>New Connection</strong> page. This action opens the{' '}
          <strong>Add Connection</strong> dialog box.
          <br />
          <strong>Note:</strong> If the <strong>Configure Connection</strong> icon is not
          available, click the <strong>Download Connector</strong> icon to install
          the {title} connector.
        </li>
        <li>Enter a name for your connection in the <strong>Add Connection</strong> dialog box.</li>

      You can use the {datasource} connector from the {siteName} application to capture data
      from {datasource} and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
      the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.
    </p>;

export const driverVersion = "M";

export const siteNameShort = "Sync";

export const siteName = "CData Sync";

export const datasource = "Teradata";
export const pageTitle = "Teradata";
export const advancedurl = "OT";

<CommonDatasourceIntroSource datasource={datasource} siteName={siteName} />

<Note>This connector is available in {siteNameShort} Self-Hosted deployments only.</Note>

## Prerequisite

{siteNameShort} requires the terajdbc4.jar driver to connect to your Teradata database. You can download this driver from the <a href="https://downloads.teradata.com/download/connectivity/jdbc-driver" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Teradata JDBC Driver web page</a>.

Copy the JDBC driver into your `libs` directory.

* **Microsoft Windows:** `C:\ProgramData\CData\sync\libs`
* **UNIX or Mac OS X:** `~/cdata/sync/libs`

## Add the Teradata Connector

<CommonDatasourceAddConnector datasource={datasource} title={pageTitle} destination={false} siteNameShort={siteNameShort} />

## Authenticate to Teradata

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

**Data Source:** Enter either the Teradata server name, the database computer (DBC) username, or the Teradata Director Program Id (TDPID).

{siteName} supports authenticating to {pageTitle} in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**TD2**](#td2) (default)
* [**LDAP**](#ldap)

### TD2

To connect with TD2 credentials, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **TD2**.
* **User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your {pageTitle} account.
* **Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your {pageTitle} account.

### LDAP

<CommonAuthSchemeLdap siteName={siteName} siteNameShort={siteNameShort} datasource={datasource} />

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Specify the following properties:
   * **Database:** Enter the name of your Teradata database.

     <Note>If you do not specify a database, {siteNameShort} connects to your default database.</Note>

   * **Port:** Enter the port number for your Teradata server. The default port value is **1025**.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
