    My organisation requires connections to Teradata to use LDAP authentication. This option should be available in PowerBI. It was previously requested in Power Query but is not yet delivered: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2c3c74a8-6ef9-4c34-8dec-83d21d041e39/how-to-connect-to-teradata-with-ldap-authentication-via-powerquery?forum=powerquery

    Any update on this suggestion? The ODBC workaround suggested below is not feasible for very large data sets.

    For Imported reports, you can use Teradata ODBC for Power BI Desktop and Gateway w/ DSN set with AuthMeth=LDAP as a 'stored/shared credential'. MS is working on LDAP support with Teradata connector (aka Teradata .NET), contact MS for status.

    Our organization requires the same LDAP authentication due to the sensitivity rail road operations.

    Would really like to use PowerBI but my company uses LDAP authentication for connections to Teradata warehouse. When will this capability be implemented. How about a workaround ?
