    - Unica Platform features
      Unica Platform provides security, configuration, notification, and dashboard features for Unica products.
    - Licensing - overview
    - HCL Unica user account management
      You can manage the attributes of user accounts created using Unica Platform user interface, which we refer to as internal accounts. This is in contrast to external user accounts, which are imported from an external system such as an LDAP server or web access control system.
    - Security management
      Unica Platform supports roles and permissions to control user access to objects and features in Unica applications.
    - Configuration management
      When Unica is first installed, the Configuration page shows only the properties used to configure Unica Platform and some global configuration properties. When you install additional Unica applications, the properties used to configure these applications are registered with Unica Platform. These properties are then shown on the Configuration page, where you can set or modify their values.
    - Dashboard management
      Dashboards are configurable pages that contain information useful to groups of users who fill various roles within your company. The components that make up dashboards are called portlets. Dashboards can contain pre-defined portlets or portlets that you create.
    - The HCL Unica Scheduler
      The Unica Scheduler enables you to configure a process to run at intervals that you define.
    - SAML 2.0 based federated authentication
      Unica Platform implements a SAML 2.0 based Identity Provider (IdP) that enables a single sign-on federation among Unica products or between Unica products and third party applications.
    - SAML 2.0 single sign-on
      Unica Platform supports SAML 2.0 based single sign-on.
    - Single sign-on between HCL Unica and IBM Digital Analytics
      If your organization uses IBM Digital Analytics, you can enable single sign-on between Digital Analytics and Unica.
    - Integration between HCL Unica and Windows Active Directory
      Unica Platform can be configured to integrate with Windows™ Active Directory server or another LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. By integrating Unica with a directory server, you can maintain users and groups in one centralized location. Integration provides a flexible model for extending the enterprise authorization policies into Unica applications. Integration reduces support costs and the time needed to deploy an application in production.

      Unica Platform can be configured to integrate with Windows™ Active Directory server or another LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. By integrating Unica with a directory server, you can maintain users and groups in one centralized location. Integration provides a flexible model for extending the enterprise authorization policies into Unica applications. Integration reduces support costs and the time needed to deploy an application in production.
    - Integration with web access control platforms
      Organizations use web access control platforms to consolidate their security systems, which provide a portal that regulates user access to web sites. This section provides an overview of Unica integration with web access control platforms.
    - Alert and notification management
      Unica Platform provides support for system alerts and user notifications sent by Unica products.
    - Implementation of one-way SSL
      This section describes one-way SSL in Unica.
      - Overview of SSL certificates
        Read this section to understand SSL certificates in general.
      - Client and server roles in HCL Unica
        Unica application components can act as either the client or the server in a communication, depending on the situation.
      - SSL in HCL Unica
        Many application components can act as both server and client during normal operations, and some components are written in Java™ and some in C++. These facts determine the format of the certificates you use. You specify the format when you create a self-signed certificate or purchase one from a CA.
      - Configuration process roadmap: implementing SSL in HCL Unica
        Use this configuration process roadmap to scan the tasks required to implement SSL in Unica. The Topic column provides links to the topics that describe the tasks in detail.
      - Certificates for SSL
        This procedure describes how to create and configure your own certificates. Perform a similar procedure for every Unica you configure to use SSL. If you are configuring the Unica Campaign + Engage integration, see the Unica Campaign and Engage Integration Guide for IBM Marketing Cloud.
      - Configure your web application servers for SSL
        On every application server on which an Unica application is deployed, configure the web application server to use the certificates you have decided to employ.
      - Configure HCL HCL Unica for SSL
        To configure Unica applications to use SSL, you must set some configuration properties. Use the procedures in this section that are appropriate for your installation of Unica products and the communications that you want to secure using SSL.
        Configuring SSL in Unica Platform
        Follow this procedure to configure SSL in Unica Platform.
        Configuring SSL in Platform for a clustered environment
        Follow this procedure to configure SSL in Platform in a clustered environment.
        Configuring SSL in Unica Platform with LDAP integration
        Follow this procedure to configure SSL in Unica Platform.
        Configuring SSL in Unica Platform with data filters
        When Unica Platform is deployed with SSL and you plan to use the data filtering feature, you must perform this procedure to add the SSL options that perform hand shaking.
        Configuring SSL in Unica Plan
        Follow this procedure to configure SSL in Unica Plan.
        Configuring SSL in Unica Campaign
        Follow this procedure to configure SSL in Unica Campaign.
        Configuring cipher list in Unica Campaign
        Configuring SSL in Unica Campaign for a clustered environment

        Configuring Unica Campaign in SSL and IBM Campaign Listener in non-SSL
        If your setup has Campaign in SSL and the Campaign Listener in the non-SSL mode, you must configure settings for the applications to work seamlessly.
        Configuring SSL in Unica Optimize
        Follow this procedure to configure SSL in Unica Optimize.
        Configuring SSL in Unica Interact
        You can configure SSL communication for Unica Interact in three areas, although there is a significant performance cost if you do this.

        Follow this procedure to configure SSL in Reports.
        Configuring SSL in Digital Analytics for On Premises
        Digital Analytics for On Premises does not accept any requests: it always acts as the client in HTTP and HTTPS communications to resolve page titles on the web site being analyzed. If you need to resolve page titles for a site that uses SSL, you only need to ensure that the URL entered in the profile options for the website or clustered servers being analyzed is correct and that the URL includes the HTTPS protocol.
      - Verifying your SSL configuration
        Follow this procedure to verify your SSL configuration.
      - Useful links for SSL
        These links provide more information on the tasks required to implement SSL in Unica.

    - Security framework for HCL Unica APIs
      Unica Platform provides the security framework for the APIs implemented by Unica products.
    - Data filter creation and management
      Data filters make it possible to restrict the customer data that an Unica user can view and work with in Unica applications. You can think of the data you secure with a data filter as a data set defined by the fields in your customer tables that you specify.
    - Audit event tracking in HCL Unica
      You can configure which audit events are tracked and assign a severity level to each tracked event.
    - The Unica Platform system log
      You should check the system log first if the Unica Platform application malfunctions. The system log is independent of the security audit information, which is stored in the system tables. While the system log tracks some of the same information contained in the security audit reports, it also contains information useful in troubleshooting Unica Platform.
