The University’s central directory services aggregate data from multiple authoritative sources and serve as a central location for identity data.
Current Directory Services
- The uTexas Enterprise Directory (TED) is a private LDAP-based directory service that contains identity information about students, faculty, staff, and university affiliates.
- TED Web Services is a collection of APIs provided through the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to query the uTexas Enterprise Directory (TED).
- TED on the Mainframe (TOM) is a mirror of TED data that is hosted on the mainframe to provide high-performance access to identity data via commonly-used Natural EID lookup modules such as T3N$ELK, T3N$FEID, etc.
- The UT Directory (or “White Pages”) is a public directory that contains information about current students, faculty, and staff. The UT Directory provides the directory back end for https://directory.utexas.edu/.
Other Directory Services
- Although the IAM Team does not maintain Active Directory services, the Austin Active Directory service is available to customers via ITS Systems.
- The University of Texas at Austin participates in the UT System-wide Directory.
