1.3.9.9.1.1.  DSGVO

The DSGVO contains rules on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.

CADENAS processes user-related data such as name, computer name, time, etc. according to the used software processes and functions.

In the following, detailed information is subdivided into singe use cases.

1.3.9.9.1.1.1. General possibilities of data query

In general, all Windows users and groups can be displayed under PARTadmin -> category Rights administration -> tabbed page User databases -> tabbed page Windows. As a rule, the module PARTadmin is only available for the administration and access to DSGVO-relevant files is controlled by the Windows rights management.

In PARTadmin -> category Rights administration -> tabbed page User databases -> tabbed page LDAP, also other AD attributes can be queried. However, for this, filters need to be configured accordingly.

1.3.9.9.1.1.2. Data query via Dashboard

For the AppServer Administration, the PARTapplicationServer Dashboard can be opened via PARTadmin -> category AppServer client -> dialog area Diagnostic by clicking on Show server state.

Show server state

Show server state

On the tabbed page System Info, you can find subcategories on AppServer services, installed file systems, installed catalogs, license information, Windows logs, network information, OpenGL information, IP addresses.

Furthermore there is a live logging of all requests.

1.3.9.9.1.1.3. Data processing during login

Data storing happens according to the configuration under PARTadmin -> category Rights administration -> tabbed page Assign rights:

ERP Configuration

ERP Configuration

  • Mapping of user ID to PARTsolutions ERP role and profile

  • Mapping of group ID to PARTsolutions ERP role and profile

  • Neither if all users have the same role and profile

  • Neither if users have different roles and profiles (see example below)

In the following you can see an example how a user-related and a neutral login may look like.

  1. User-related login:

    Once under PARTadmin -> category Rights administration -> tabbed page User databases, on the tabbed page Windows, the option Active is activated, a user-related login can happen.

    The user-related login may happen manually or automatically.

    • Manual login:

      If in PARTadmin -> category ERP environment -> Database login, the option Always show login dialog is activated, the dialog box Database login will appear.

      Always show login dialog

      Always show login dialog

      Database login

      Database login

      A login can now be performed manually by entering Windows user and password.

      Alternatively, the option Use currently logged in operating system user can be activated.

      When using a manual login, login name and password queried in the dialog are saved; however, only if the option stay logged in is activated. The option can also be completely turned off.

    • Automatic login:

      If in PARTadmin -> category ERP environment -> Database login, the option Always show login dialog is deactivated, a login is immediately performed.

      -> During a login using the Windows user, user ID, group, group membership and domain are recorded.

    -> The Windows username is displayed at different places of the software, for example in the status line.

    Username in status line

    Username in status line

  2. Neutral login:

    The following scenario will exemplarily show how to set up a neutral, meaning not user-related login:

    1. In PARTadmin -> category ERP environment -> User, under Login-Dialog, enter a password for "ecat".

      The password is stored under $CADENAS_SITESETUP/plinkusers.cfg.

    2. In PARTadmin -> category Rights administration -> tabbed page User databases, disable the Windows option.

      Windows disabled

      Windows disabled

    3. Enable the ERP (plinkusers) option in PARTadmin -> category Rights administration -> tabbed page User databases.

      ERP (plinkusers) enabled

      ERP (plinkusers) enabled

      -> Now the database login can be performed with the created ERP user and password.

      Database login

      Database login

      -> In the modules, it will be displayed in the status line (no Windows user).

    4. If in this constellation, a user tries to login by enabling the option Use currently logged in operating system user, the according error message is displayed.

      Use currently logged in operating system user

      Use currently logged in operating system user

      Invalid username or password!

      Invalid username or password!

An alternative solution to work with a neutral database login is the use of a group name as Windows login. (This solution is only then compliant with the DSGVO, if the group has more than one user.)

Another alternative beside the group name is to assign the configuration "Default/Logged in". This then applies for all users, which are not assigned in any other way.

1.3.9.9.1.1.4. Data processing when accessing ERP database

It is required to save a database password for the access to the ERP database.

The entry needs to be performed under PARTadmin -> category ERP environment -> User -> Automatic login.

User/Password is stored encoded (normally for all users the same).

The password is stored in the configuration file plinkusers.cfg.

Automatic login

Automatic login

Also during data processing such as creation of an ERP number or changes of roles and rights, user-related data is stored.

  • When adding an ERP number the following entries are set in the LOGTABLE, among others:

    • Login name of user which performed the change.

    • Computer name of client

    • Program name

    • Time

    • ERP number of created data set

    Call via PARTlinkManager -> tabbed page "Extras" -> "Database" -> "Edit additional tables"

    Call via PARTlinkManager -> tabbed page "Extras" -> "Database" -> "Edit additional tables"

  • CAD environment: Date creation in the CAD environment (CAD attributes)

    Concerning the attributes transferred to the CAD only the ones written in the LOGTABLE are stored on the part of CADENAS.

  • PLM environment (PLM login)

1.3.9.9.1.1.5.  Catalog Online update

PARTadmin -> category Catalog update -> Online

Email and password are stored in the configuration file partupdate.cfg.

Each CIP download is allocated to a user. Username and also IP are stored.

Catalog Online update

1.3.9.9.1.1.6. Logging

For analysis purposes logging can be used.

In the dialog Log settings, part of the dialog Settings, which can be called from PARTsolutions and eCATALOGsolutions modules via Extras menu -> Preferences, you can determine the log level. For example, also the username is stored when logging into modules.

Log settings Log settings

Log settings

The output of logging data goes into file under $Temp\psol_logs\cadenas_error.log.

cadenas_error.log

cadenas_error.log

The display in the GUI is performed in the Log window of the respective module.

1.3.9.9.1.1.7.  FLM server

DSGVO-relevant information concerning FLM server can be found under Section 1.4.4.4, “ "Security" tabbed page ”. This point is also relevant without using ERP.
