Configuration process checklist (Active Directory integration)
Integrating
IBM
®
EMM
with
Windows
™
Active Directory is a multi-step process. The following procedure provides an overview of the process, which is described in detail elsewhere in this guide.
1.
Obtain required information
Obtain information about your
Windows
™
Active Directory server, which is needed for integration with
IBM
®
EMM
.
2.
Plan group membership and mapping
If you are using group based synchronization, identify or create the groups in the
Marketing Platform
to which you will map your Active Directory groups.
3.
Store directory server credentials in the 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.
4.
Configure integration in IBM EMM
Configure the
Marketing Platform
for integration by setting values on the Configuration page.
5.
Test synchronization
Verify that users are imported as expected, and if you are using group based synchronization, verify that users and groups are synchronizing properly.
6.
Set up an Active Directory user with PlatformAdminRole permissions
Set up administrator access to the
Marketing Platform
, required when
Windows
™
integrated login is enabled.
7.
Set security mode to Windows Integrated Login
Set the security mode values on the Configuration page.
8.
Assign roles to mapped groups
If you are using group based synchronization, implement your planned group application access.
9.
Restart the web application server
This step is required to ensure that all of your changes are applied.
10.
Test login as an Active Directory user
Verify that you can log in to
IBM
®
EMM
as an Active Directory user.
