System user to access IBM® EMM Hosted Services

IBM® eMessage components must be able to communicate with IBM® EMM Hosted Services without requiring manual entry of login credentials. To establish automatic login, define a system user in IBM® Marketing Platform that can provide the required access credentials.

To simplify user administration and troubleshooting, you can modify an existing system user to access hosted services and local system tables. You can configure a single system user to provide credentials for multiple systems. For example, modifying the configuration of the Campaign system user creates a single user that can automatically access IBM® EMM Hosted Services and the eMessage system tables in the Campaign schema.

The credentials that are required to access IBM® EMM Hosted Services are the user name and password that IBM® provided during the startup process. The credentials that you use depend on whether you are connecting to the data center that IBM® maintains in the US or to the data center in the United Kingdom. Consult with IBM® to determine which data center you use.
