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.
