Overview
User authentication features of DMS-Admin help you to:
•
Authenticate all user sessions. (We prevent you from disabling mandatory authentication, even
though we allowed this in Cisco DMS 5.1.x and prior releases.)
•
Choose and configure an authentication method.
•
Import user account settings from an Active Directory server.
