Verifying your Marketing Platform installation

After you install and deploy Marketing Platform, you must verify that there are no errors in your Marketing Platform installation and deployment. You can configure your Marketing Platform installation after the verification.

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to verify your Marketing Platform installation:
  1. Access the HCL® Marketing Software URL in a supported web browser.

    If you entered a domain when you installed Marketing Platform, the URL is the following, where host is the machine where Marketing Platform is installed, domain.com is the domain in which the host machine resides, and port is the port number on which the web application server listens.

    http://host.domain.com:port/unica

  2. Log in using the default administrator login, which is asm_admin with password as the password.

    You will be asked to change the password. You can enter the existing password, but for good security you should choose a new one.

    The default home page is the dashboard, which you will configure later.

  3. Under the Settings menu, check the Users, User Groups, and User Permissions pages to verify that the pre-configured users, groups, roles, and permissions are present, as described in the Marketing Platform Administrator's Guide.
  4. Add a new user and group and verify that data is entered into the Marketing Platform system table database.
  5. Under the Settings menu, check the Configuration page to verify that the Marketing Platform configuration properties exist.

What to do next

There are additional configuration tasks, such as configuring the dashboard, setting up user access to HCL® applications, and integrating with an LDAP or web access control system (optional). See the HCL Marketing Platform Administrator's Guide for instructions.
