Based on the link you posted, changing the Authentication Mechanism to LDAP might work.

TdConnectionStringBuilder connectionStringBuilder = new TdConnectionStringBuilder();
connectionStringBuilder.DataSource = "x";
connectionStringBuilder.Database = "DATABASENAME";
connectionStringBuilder.UserId = "y";
connectionStringBuilder.Password = "z";
connectionStringBuilder.AuthenticationMechanism = "LDAP";

using (TdConnection cn = new TdConnection())
{
    cn.ConnectionString = connectionStringBuilder.ConnectionString;
    cn.Open();

    TdCommand cmd = cn.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT DATE";

    using (TdDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
    {
        reader.Read();
        DateTime date = reader.GetDate(0);
        Console.WriteLine("Teradata Database DATE is {0}", date);
    }
}
