The obvious necessary conditions for a triple system of index two having a given automorphism group to underly a directed triple system having the same group are shown to be sufficient. An efficient algorithm for directing the triple system in a way that preserves its group is given. Applications to the existence of directed triple systems with various automorphisms are outlined.
