3. Modify ldap.properties accordingly (Reference:  https://support.tibco.com/s/article/How-to-expand-the-LDAP-group-context-search-for-Active-Directory-in-TIBCO-Data-Virtualization). Verify that the LDAP domain is working, by attempting to log in to Studio as an LDAP user. The first time that you log in, you will see a message that rights need to be assigned. This message is normal and may be addressed by going to Web Manager >> Security >> User Management, selecting the user, and assigning rights

4.  Launch TDV Studio, navigate to Administration>>Configuration and set :
1. Server>>Configuration>>Security>>Authentication>>Allow NTLM Authentication to true
2. Server>>Configuration>>Security>>Authentication>>Windows Domain Mapping:Key Value Map to [Domain name] : [Domain key set in TDV manager]
