The IAM Team provides opportunities to integrate with our various Solutions.
At this time, our focus is primarily on authenticationAuthentication Authentication is the act of determining that a person is who they claim to be. For more information, see our Concepts page., but we anticipate having group and role management options in the near future.
Authentication
Single and Multi-Factor AuthenticationMFA Authentication makes use of one or more factors of authentication: something you know (e.g., a password), something you have (e.g., your smartphone), or something you are (e.g., a fingerprint). Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) makes use of two or more factors when authenticating you. For more information, see our Concepts page.
Whenever possible, we recommend that you integrate with Enterprise Authentication, our Shibboleth Identity ProviderIdP An Identity Provider (IdP) is a software tool or service that offers user authentication as a service. The Identity Provider (IdP) manages the user's primary authentication credentials and issues assertions derived from those credentials. At UT Austin, the primary IdP used to authenticate the UT EID and EID Password is Enterprise Authentication, which is managed by the IAM Team. For more information, see our Concepts page.
