Configuring WebSphere for use with UBX

Part of configuring the integration between IBM Campaign and IBM UBX involves configuring the Campaign web application server to communicate with UBX. Follow these instructions if Campaign uses WebSphere Application Server (WAS) as the web application server.

Before you begin

Before you perform this task:
  • IBM Campaign must be configured to use SSL for all communications. For instructions, see the IBM Marketing Platform Administrator's Guide.
  • You must know the host name, SSL port number, and alias of the server that customers use to access IBM UBX.

About this task

Follow these steps to import an IBM Marketing Cloud certificate into WebSphere Application Server.

If IBM Campaign is deployed in a WebSphere Application Server cluster, you must import the Engage certificate on each node of the cluster (repeat these steps).

Note that this procedure requires a restart of WebSphere Application Server.
