X6.1 - Cisco TelePresence Administrator's Manual

TMS Agent database credentials included within local authentication database lookups
In addition to any manually created entries, the Cisco VCS now checks credentials stored within the TMS
Agent database when the device authentication database type is set to Local database.
This makes it easier to enable authentication on the Cisco VCS when provisioning is using passwords
originating from TMS.

Support for certificate-based authentication is provided. This can be combined with a smart card (also
