Teradata and LDAP

Hello there, appreciate very much the help in advance!

 

So I need to connect to my Teradata data warehouse, but my credentials are not working in PowerBI (they are working fine in TOAD and other clients). 

 

I believe the issue to be that we use LDAP to authenticate, and I do not see this in the advanced options for the teradata connection (however there is AuthenticationMechanism property when connecting via PowerQuery for example). 

What are my options here? I'm happy to rig up a connection string or do something alternate if it's possible...

Open the CMD Prompt and paste "setx PBI_EnableTeradataLdap true" You will be able to use LDAP in Power Bi.

For example, in the teradata connection string builder, there is a property to specify it. I just need to customize the connection string in PowerBI but I don't know how to do it:
