Setting up single sign-on between Unica and Digital Analytics using manual user account creation

Use this procedure to set up single sign-on between Unica and Digital Analytics using manual user account creation.

Procedure

  1. Determine the Digital Analytics Client ID you want to use for single sign-on between Unica and Digital Analytics.

    Make a note of the Client ID, as you will need it in a later step.

  2. Log in to Digital Analytics as an Admin user with access to the Client ID you selected in the previous step, click the Admin link, and navigate to the Global User Authentication page.
    • In the Enterprise Marketing Management Shared Secret field, enter a string that conforms to the rules stated in the instructions next to the field.

      Make a note of this string, as you will need it in a later step.

    • Under Automatic User Account Creation, click Disabled.
  3. Log in to Unica as an Admin user and navigate to the Settings > Users page.
  4. Select or create a user and configure a data source for this user as follows.
    • Data Source - Enter a name.
    • Data Source Login - Enter the Client ID you noted in step 1.
    • Data Source Password - Enter the Shared Secret you noted in step 2.

    If you have multiple partitions, you must perform this task in every partition where you have users who should have single sign-on.

    Alternatively, you can use the platform_admin user account for this step. Because this user is a member of all partitions, the data source is available in all partitions.

  5. In Unica Platform, navigate to the Settings > User groups page and do the following.
    • Create a new group and add the DMUser role to that group.
    • Make each user who should have single sign-on a member of that group.

    If you have multiple partitions, you must perform this task in every partition where you have users who should have single sign-on.

  6. In Unica Platform, navigate to the Settings > Configuration page and set configuration properties as follows.
    Table 1. Configuration properties for enabling single sign-on with Digital Analytics
    Property Value
    Digital Analytics | Enable IBM Digital Analytics True
    Digital Analytics | Integration | partitions | partition[n] | Platform user for IBM Digital Analytics account Enter the login name for Unica Platform user account that you used in step 4.
    Digital Analytics | Integration | partitions | partition[n] | Datasource for IBM Digital Analytics account Enter the name of the data source you created in step 4.

    If you have multiple partitions, you must use the Digital Analytics | Integration | partitions | partitionTemplate to create a set of configuration properties for every partition where you have users who should have single sign-on.

    The name of the category you create with the template must exactly match the name of the corresponding Unica Campaign partition.

  7. In Unica Platform, navigate to the Settings > Users page.
  8. For each user for whom you want to enable single sign-on, enter that user's Digital Analytics login name in the IBM Digital Analytics user name field on the user's Edit properties page.
    Note: If a user has exactly the same login names in both Unica and Digital Analytics, you do not have to perform this step.
  9. Configure your web application server for single sign-on with Digital Analytics.
