Authentication Mechanisms

Several methods are used to authenticate members of the Texas A&M community. The Central Authentication System is a java application that runs on a dedicated server, netid.tamu.edu or netid-dev.tamu.edu for development. Client software on other Web services connect to the netid.tamu.edu server to authenticate and process user login requests. Cookies must be set on the client browser for the service to work properly. User authentication is also available through Kerberos and LDAP.
