Configuring the Aggregation Service user account, protocol, or port

Online Marketing Explorer provides a ReserveNamepace command line tool that you can use to change the HTTP service, port, or user account under which the Aggregation Service is running. By default, the Aggregation Service runs under the Network Service user account and uses HTTP on port 2600. The ReserveNamepace tool updates Windows security configuration.

About this task

The Aggregation Service consists of the following services:

  • The AggregationDataService is used to connect to the Online Marketing Explorer Web application.
  • The OnlineMarketingODataService is used to connect to the Online Marketing Explorer dashboard.

You need to run the tool for both of these services, first using the remove command to remove the existing security configuration and then the add command to specify the new configuration. The tool takes the following parameters:

ReserveNamespace.exe command baseAddress "user"

For example:

ReserveNamespace.exe remove http://+:2600/AggregationDataService "Network Service"

Where

  • command is remove or add
  • baseAddress consists of:
    • protocol—http// or https//
    • port—for example +:2600
    • path to service—for example AggregationDataService or OnlineMarketingODataService
  • user—the user account under which the service is running

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the ReserveNamepace directory on the Online Marketing Explorer installation media.
  3. Run the remove command for the AggregationDataService, for example:
    ReserveNamespace.exe remove http://+:2600/AggregationDataService "Network Service"
  4. Run the remove command for the OnlineMarketingODataService, for example:
    ReserveNamespace.exe remove http://+:2600/OnlineMarketingODataService "Network Service"
  5. Run the add command for the AggregationDataService, for example:
    ReserveNamespace.exe add https://+:2700/AggregationDataService "DOMAIN\jdoe" 
  6. Run the add command for the OnlineMarketingODataService, for example:
    ReserveNamespace.exe add https://+:2700/OnlineMarketingODataService "DOMAIN\jdoe" 
  7. If you changed the user running one of the Aggregation Services:
    1. Start the MMC Snap-in by selecting Programs > SDL Tridion > SDL Tridion Content Manager configuration in the Microsoft Windows Start menu.
    2. Expand the SDL Tridion Snap-in tree node, select Impersonation Users and choose New Impersonation User from the context menu.
    3. Add the account under which the Aggregation Service is working.
