Cisco TMS user concepts
To log into the Cisco TMS web site, you must have a Windows username and password that the
server is configured to trust. By default, any local Windows user account will work, as well as any
Active Directory Domain user account if the server is a member of an Active Directory Domain.
Cisco TMS creates a user profile for each user that successfully logs into Cisco TMS, based on their
Windows username. Cisco TMS does not store user passwords – users use their existing Windows
password. If their Windows password is updated, they must use that updated password when logging
into Cisco TMS. While it is possible to create a user profile in Cisco TMS manually, this does not
create a Windows User account. Likewise, deleting a user profile in Cisco TMS does not alter their
Windows User account. A user must always have a valid Windows login to access Cisco TMS.
In each user profile in Cisco TMS there are personal information fields such as their Windows
username, their first and last name and their email address. These fields must be completed for each
user; otherwise, when the user browses to Cisco TMS, a pop-up window opens prompting them to
complete their user profile. Each user can choose the language to use within the Cisco TMS
Application from a drop-down list.
Note: While more languages are supported in the Cisco TMS Scheduler and notifications, only
English, French, Russian, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified) and Korean are supported in the main Cisco
TMS web interface. If another language is selected, pages that do not support this language selection
are displayed in English.
As of version 12.61, Cisco TMS is now available in English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and
Korean.

The remaining fields are not mandatory. If you are using Active Directory, you can configure Cisco
TMS to populate these fields automatically for new users; their profile will be created automatically the
first time the user logs into Cisco TMS.
