TED: Requesting Access to TED
About TED Accounts
In order to perform an LDAP search against the uTexas Enterprise Directory (TED), you will need a TED Service Account.
TED Service Accounts are assigned to applications and sponsored by departments.
TED Service Accounts are not assigned to individuals.
Using TED for Authentication
If possible, it is recommended that you use the Enterprise Authentication service for your authentication needs. Enterprise Authentication is powered by a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 Identity Provider (IdP).
