Configuring additional settings for Marketing Platform

Additional configuration is required when HCL® Marketing Platform is integrated with an LDAP server, Windows™ Active Directory (Windows Integrated Login), or with a web access control system such as Tivoli® or SiteMinder.

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to configure additional settings for Marketing Platform:
  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, IBM EMM applications can still access the Unica namespace through the Cognos SDK API (for example, when users view Cognos reports from within IBM EMM applications).

  2. If you need authenticated access to the Cognos URL, complete the following tasks:
    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.
