I'm having issues connecting R with Teradata.

library("RJDBC")


drv = JDBC("com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver";"C:\\...\\terajdbc4.jar,
           C:\\...\\tdgssconfig.jar")

conn = dbConnect(drv,"jdbc:teradata://dbserver","user1","pwd1")

When I try to run the connection part I get the following error message:

GSSException: Failure unspecified at GSS-API level (Mechanism level: UserFile parameter null)

....

Error in .jcall(drv@jdrv, "Ljava/sql/Connection;", "connect", as.character(url)[1],  : 
  java.lang.NullPointerException

Please note that I have already check that the .jar files are in the right path and that R has the proper rights to access them. I have looked at similar questions on the Teradata Community forum but that didn't help.

This means specifically, the tdgssconfig.jar library is missing in your classpath, even through you believe it's there.
