security question

[Dmi3U]

Hi All,

Do you use any utilities to clean the PC after logging into PLM from public PC? I am thinking about some wraper which will clear cache, passwords e.t.c after using Windchill. Any utilities you would suggest: pros vs cons? How would you even start it since windchill does not have a logout?

Just wanted to start a discussion, and, maybe get PTC thinking about it...

Tank you,

Dmitry

How about using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_mode ?

What would be really slick is to have Windchill check for the privacy mode being enabled in the browser. Perhaps something like this:

If the concern is employee PC access outside of the company network, I would consider a custom browser deployment of Firefox that forces privacy mode. Then force Windchill to check for this browser version.

If you need to ensure secure access from public PCs, I would consider forcing truly public access through Citrix.

I'm doing some testing with Pro/E WF5 and PDMLink 9.1 M050. When trying to upload an assembly, it fails and the Conflict Manager only tells me that "Content Upload failed because of invalid response from the server." I'm able to upload other items, but not this assembly. That implies that the error is assembly-specific, but the error seems sort of general (and vague). Any ideas?

Thanks, John
