7. Purpose of the processing
The purpose of this processing operation is providing external users with access to EDA platforms. The Application Security Store is a database for storing identities, authentication data and authorizations to access EDA applications. It is used to process access requests received by EDA in order to use EDA applications. Accounts from AppSecStore are synchronized with CRM@EDA (Customer Relation Management) and the external Active Directory. Any modification applied in AppSecStore is applied to the Active Directory. The external Active Directory enables the network communication between devices and the functioning of most external EDA software applications (e.g. CODABA, ECP, DTEB, DPOL and others) and provides each legitimate user with valid credentials to the EDA network.
