  - Unica Platform features
    Unica Platform provides security, configuration, notification, and dashboard features for Unica products.
  - HCL Unica user account management
    You can manage the attributes of user accounts created using Unica Platform user interface, which we refer to as internal accounts. This is in contrast to external user accounts, which are imported from an external system such as an LDAP server or web access control system.
  - Security management
    Unica Platform supports roles and permissions to control user access to objects and features in Unica applications.
  - Configuration management
    When Unica is first installed, the Configuration page shows only the properties used to configure Unica Platform and some global configuration properties. When you install additional Unica applications, the properties used to configure these applications are registered with Unica Platform. These properties are then shown on the Configuration page, where you can set or modify their values.
  - Dashboard management
    Dashboards are configurable pages that contain information useful to groups of users who fill various roles within your company. The components that make up dashboards are called portlets. Dashboards can contain pre-defined portlets or portlets that you create.
  - The HCL Unica Scheduler
    The Unica Scheduler enables you to configure a process to run at intervals that you define.
  - SAML 2.0 based federated authentication
    Unica Platform implements a SAML 2.0 based Identity Provider (IdP) that enables a single sign-on federation among Unica products or between Unica products and third party applications.
  - SAML 2.0 single sign-on
    Unica Platform supports SAML 2.0 based single sign-on.
  - Configuring JWT authentication between applications
    JSON web token (JWT) authentication is used for Journey Designer+Unica Campaign. JWT authentication allows single sign-on between applications.
  - Single sign-on between HCL Unica and IBM Digital Analytics
    If your organization uses IBM Digital Analytics, you can enable single sign-on between Digital Analytics and Unica.
  - Integration between HCL Unica and Windows Active Directory
    Unica Platform can be configured to integrate with Windows�� Active Directory server or another LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. By integrating Unica with a directory server, you can maintain users and groups in one centralized location. Integration provides a flexible model for extending the enterprise authorization policies into Unica applications. Integration reduces support costs and the time needed to deploy an application in production.
