Data security
OMIMSWAC extension doesn't store any sensitive customer data.
However, only to support offline scenarios, OMIMSWAC leverages the Microsoft Windows Admin Center framework to store
operational data (as mentioned below) in application settings. For more information, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/
windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/configure/settings.
Operational data such as catalog path, Dell System Update (DSU), and Inventory Collector (IC) path from the CIFS share
location.
CIFS share access requires user credentials which are available in the current browser session. Credentials, in obfuscated
format, are only available to the current user. Credentials are discarded as soon as the session is invalidated. User needs to
provide credentials again to access the CIFS share.
Cryptography
OMIMSWAC extension doesn't store any sensitive data or any certificates.
Auditing and logging
The OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center (OMIMSWAC) extension logs for target nodes and cluster
nodes are available at <Windows Directory>\Temp\OMIMSWAC on target nodes.
The application logs for the update compliance feature are available at the following path:
● Gateway system: <Windows
Directory>\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Temp\generated\logs
● Windows 10 gateway system: <Windows installed
drive>\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\generated\logs
The download status of online catalogs is captured in the application logs and can be referred to troubleshoot any download
errors in the online catalogs.
When an online catalog source is selected, and if DSU and IC are not configured in advance in the settings, OMIMSWAC will
download the catalog, DSU, and IC utilities in the following path:
● Gateway system: <Windows
Directory>\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Temp\generated
\Share\temp\<server/cluster_name>
● Windows 10 gateway system: <Windows installed
drive>\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\generated \Share\temp\<server/cluster_name>
