Configuring a system user to access HCL Unica hosted services

Deliver components must be able to access the HCL Unica hosted services without requiring manual entry of login credentials. To establish automatic login, define a system user in 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 Campaign system user creates a single user that can automatically access HCL Unica hosted services and the Deliver system tables in the Campaign schema.

The credentials required to access HCL Unica hosted services are the user name and password that Unica provides for your hosted messaging account. The credentials that you use depend on whether you are connecting to the Unica US data center or the data center that Unica maintains in the Europe. Consult with Unica to determine which data center you use.

For specific information about how to configure a system user to communicate with HCL Unica hosted services, 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 hosted services

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

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

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

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

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