Configuring a system user to access HCL Unica

Unica Deliver components must be able to access the HCL Unica without requiring manual entry of login credentials. To establish automatic login, define a system user in Unica Platform that can provide the required access credentials.

To simplify user administration and troubleshooting, you can modify an existing system user to access hosted services and local system tables. You can configure a single system user to provide credentials for multiple systems. For example, modifying the configuration of the Unica Campaign system user creates a single user that can automatically access HCL Unica and the Unica Deliver system tables in the Unica Campaign schema.

The credentials required to access HCL Unica are the user name and password that HCL provides for your hosted messaging account.

For specific information about how to configure a system user to communicate with HCL Unica, see the Unica Deliver Startup and Administrator's Guide.

For general information about how to create system users and data sources, see the Unica Platform Administrator's Guide.

Configuring partition access to HCL Unica

Unica Deliver components in the partition must be allowed to automatically provide valid login credentials when attempting to communicate with HCL Unica. To do this, you must add the HCL Unica login credentials to a Unica Platform user. This user becomes the Unica Deliver system user.

You can add the platform data source containing the HCL Unica credentials to the Unica Deliver system user. This user can be the same system user that accesses the Unica Campaign system tables in the partition.

The steps for configuring system users for a partition are the same as those followed during the initial Unica Deliver installation, which created the first partition. For details about how to add login credentials to a system user, see the Unica Deliver Startup and Administrator's Guide.

The credentials required to access HCL Unica are the user name and password that HCL provided during the initial startup process.

Important: For each additional partition, you must request a separate user name and password from HCL.
