including WebEx username is automatically added to each new Cisco TMS user. WebEx password must
still be added by the administrator or user, however, if Single Sign On is enabled, WebEx password is not
required. With the Active Directory and Single Sign On features enabled, only the WebEx site must be
selected for the user, if there are multiple WebEx sites configured on Cisco TMS. If there is only on

automatically select the WebEx site designated as the ‘Default', unless the user's Cisco TMS profile is
edited to specify a different WebEx site.
