Configuring additional settings for Marketing Platform

When HCL® Marketing Platform is integrated with an LDAP server, Windows™ Active Directory, or a web access control system such as Tivoli® or Site Minder, you must configure additional settings.

About this task

To configure additional settings for Marketing Platform, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In Cognos® Configuration, set the flag Selectable for authentication to false for the Unica® authentication namespace.

    When you set this flag to false, Cognos Connection and Cognos Administration cannot access the Unica namespace for authentication. However, HCL® Marketing Software applications can still access the Unica namespace through the Cognos SDK API (for example, when users view Cognos reports from within HCL Marketing Software applications).

  2. If you need authenticated access to the Cognos URL, complete the following steps:
    1. In Cognos Configuration, configure a namespace by using the appropriate bundled authentication provider.
    2. Set Selectable for authentication to true.
    3. Use this new namespace for the Cognos URL.
