“What’s New” for CAPPS IAM/TDIS

A CAPPS IAM/TDIS self-paced learning course is now available on CAPPS Training. This course is available to all users and includes step-by-step instructions for completing the initial enrollment process and using the self-service features in the TDIS employee dashboard. The course includes PDF versions of course material and exercise guides.

The new CAPPS identity and access management (IAM) platform, Texas.gov Digital Identity Solution (TDIS), deploys for CAPPS Production Monday, June 7.

Note: Once live, IAM/TDIS will be the only way to access CAPPS Central applications. Agencies should ensure all staff is aware of this and prepared to complete enrollment.

On June 7

All agency personnel should receive an account enrollment email from no-reply@myaccess.dir.texas.gov. Users who do not receive the email should check their spam folders and trash. Agencies should tell users to expect the email and to know it is not a phishing attempt.

Users should follow the email’s instructions to complete the account setup. The email link will only be active until 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 9. Users whose link expires, or who do not receive the enrollment email or cannot complete the login process, must contact their agency’s delegated administrator(s).

IT Action Required

CAPPS Central agency IT departments should confirm these TDIS sender emails are not subject to agency quarantine rules:

• no-reply@myaccess.dir.texas.gov (IAM/TDIS production notifications)
• no-reply-stg@myaccess.ad.portal.texas.gov (IAM/TDIS non-production notifications)

These email domains are active now for staff using non-production environments (such as UAT, Recruit S01, Business Objects QA, etc.) and will be used for all agency staff when IAM/TDIS goes live June 7. TDIS emails from these domains include the account enrollment email, multi-factor authentication actions, account/profile change notifications and more.

IAM Resources

Monitor CAPPS IAM/TDIS for updates and resources related to IAM/TDIS implementation. The IAM presentations from the CAPPS user groups are also available for both Financials and HR/Payroll in the meeting pages, listed by date under Past Meetings.

A new Identity Access Management (IAM) platform for CAPPS will be available in the user acceptance testing (UAT) environment by April 12, and will go live in June. All CAPPS Central agencies must participate. See the IAM page for more information, project updates and contact information.
