eMessage components must be able to access the
IBM® EMM Hosted Services without requiring manual entry of login credentials. To establish automatic login, define a system user in
Marketing Platform that can provide the required access credentials.
The credentials required to access IBM® EMM Hosted Services are the user name and password that
IBM® provides for your hosted messaging account. 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.
IBM® eMessage components in the partition must be allowed to automatically provide valid login credentials when attempting to communicate with
IBM® EMM Hosted Services. To do this, you must add the
IBM® EMM Hosted Services login credentials to a
Marketing Platform user. This user becomes the
eMessage system user.
You can add the platform data source containing the IBM® EMM Hosted Services credentials to the
eMessage system user. This user can be the same system user that accesses the Campaign system tables in the partition.
The steps for configuring system users for a partition are the same as those followed during the initial eMessage installation, which created the first partition. For details about how to add
IBM® EMM Hosted Services login credentials to a system user, see the
IBM® eMessage Startup and Administrator's Guide.
The credentials required to access IBM® EMM Hosted Services are the user name and password that
IBM® provided during the initial startup process.
