Migrate to Adobe Identity Management System (IMS) migrate-to-ims
As part of the effort to reinforce security and authentication process, Adobe Campaign highly recommends to migrate end user authentication mode from the login/password native authentication to Adobe Identity Management System (IMS).
In addition, Adobe Campaign client application now calls Campaign APIs directly using the IMS technical account token. You must migrate your technical operators to Adobe Developer Console.
