Recommended: Microsoft Active Directory Information. If you intend to integrate the Cisco TMS User
Directory with your Microsoft Active Directory so that you can automate the creation and management
of users, you need knowledge of your Active Directory structure and an understanding of how
AD/LDAP works. You must also define a service account in Active Directory that has read access to
the Global Directory. The external AD server must support secure connections.

Optional: SMTP Server. If you want the User Directory to email Movi users their account information
including username and password, you will need to define a valid SMTP server that will accept SMTP
relay from the Cisco TMS server. Some SMTP servers require authentication, so make sure you have
that information before starting.
