Installation and Access

Personalization Operations is installed with the Personalization Server and configured in the Server Configuration Portal (SCP). Once the administrator has configured the Personalization Server instance, the SCP displays the URLs where users can access the Personalization Operations web console.

By default, the URL is:

http://<server name>:<port number>
where <server name> is the full qualified domain name of the Personalization Server, and the default port is 7771. For more information, see Personalization Operations in the User Workspace Manager help.

After configuration, the administrator must authorize users to access Personalization Operations. The administrator who is installing and configuring Environment Manager and the Personalization Server has full administrator rights to add users to Personalization Operations and assign roles and Personalization Groups to them.

Once they have configured user roles, the administrator can inform users of the URL where they can access the web console.

Usually, users need to provide their standard Windows network credentials when they log in to Personalization Operations for the first time.
