Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15 Installation Guide
■
Domain membership preferred: Each user logging into Cisco TMS needs a Windows User Login to authenticate
to the web site. Users must have either a local account on the Cisco TMS Windows Server or a Domain account
that the server trusts through Active Directory. By making the server a member of the domain, all trusted domain
users can automatically use their existing Windows credentials to log into Cisco TMS. You can still limit what
users can do after they have logged into Cisco TMS using Cisco TMS permissions. Active Directory membership
is the recommended deployment for most installations because it avoids creating local Windows accounts for
each user.

■
Cisco TMS website accessible by IP and Hostname: not all devices support DNS hostnames or Port Numbers,
the Cisco TMS web site must therefore be accessible by an IP Address on port 80. Some functionality requires
Cisco TMS to be reachable by hostname; therefore Cisco TMS should also be accessible by a fully qualified
domain name.

Mail server access: Cisco TMS requires access to an SMTP server to be able to send email. Your company's
existing mail servers can be used for this. Note that Cisco TMS supports SMTP AUTH login for authentication if
required.
