Configuration process roadmap: Active Directory integration

Use this configuration process roadmap to scan the tasks required to integrate IBM® EMM with Windows™ Active Directory. The Topic column provides links to the topics that describe the tasks in detail.

Table 1. Configuration process roadmap: Active Directory integration
Topic Information
Obtaining required information Obtain information about your Windows Active Directory server, which is required for integration with IBM EMM.
Group membership, mapping, and application access If you are using group based synchronization, identify or create the groups in Marketing Platform to which you will map your Active Directory groups.
Storing directory server credentials in Marketing Platform If your directory server does not allow anonymous access (the most common configuration), configure an IBM EMM user account to hold a directory server administrator user name and password.
Configure the Marketing Platform for integration by setting values on the Configuration page.
Testing synchronization Verify that users are imported as expected, and if you are using group based synchronization, verify that users and groups are synchronizing properly.
Setting up an Active Directory user with PlatformAdminRole permissions Set up administrator access to Marketing Platform, required when Windows integrated login is enabled.
Setting the security mode to Windows Integrated Login Set the security mode values on the Configuration page.
Configuring Internet Explorer Set a custom security level in every instance of Internet Explorer that is used to access IBM EMM. This is required with Windows integrated login, to prevent users from being presented with the IBM EMM login screen.
Restarting the web application server This step is required to ensure that all of your changes are applied.
Testing login as an Active Directory user Verify that you can log in to IBM EMM as an Active Directory user.
