Question

Use of Security labels & access controls for nationally classified information.

I have a requirement to restrict access to the meta data and content (documents) in Windchill based on a security context.

Not only do I need to restrict access, but I need to store the content in a specific location, which will be in a different location to the application server. i.e in another country if documents

are Nationally classified.

The Windchill 11 overview states this is possible, but I would like to know more details.

There is a lot of setup involved with implementing security labels! Read the documents carefully as you are modifying core Windchill resource bundle files. Especially take note of the warning that says "Editing these files may prevent your Windchill system from starting". This definitely requires good backup and a test server to implement.

To store content in a secondary vault should not be an issue, but getting the proper settings to do it automatically may. You would need OIRs that put documents in that vault. If only certain documents of a type require this security, that is harder to do automatically without some deep programming.

Thanks Ben, I know it was quite tricky with V10. I understood it is better in V11, but possibly not.
