Infrastructure Services Development and Support

Infrastructure Services provides tools to the Texas A&M University community to identify, authenticate, and authorize users wishing to access applications.

Infrastructure Services also supports messaging services for the Texas A&M University community.

Infrastructure Services include:

• Directory Services: TAMU's Enterprise LDAP Directory
• TAMU Namespaces: Registries of unique, global, persistent names for TAMU-specific directory-related resources
• Authentication (AuthN) and Authorization (AuthZ) Services: The Central Authentication Service (CAS) provides Web-based authentication. Shibboleth provides inter-institutional access to resources as well as application access to restricted user identity data required for user authorization.
• Identity Management Services: NetID account management
• Messaging Services: Campus email

This site houses detailed documentation geared toward application developers wanting to leverage these services. To manage your personal NetID account, please go to http://gateway.tamu.edu.
