Up to now mostly there was only the possibility to set PDM login data in the cfg file of PDM interface. Only some interfaces had a special login dialog - but without comfort function.

Now almost at all interfaces (except Vault and those which get along without login) the PDM login service can be used.^[101] Hereto there is a section for each supported interface in the configuration file PdmLoginService.cfg (CADENAS_SETUP), where behavior and structure of the respective login dialog can be set. Here, the single dialogs can also be (de)activated (in delivery condition all are deactivated). If a dialog is deactivated, login data is read from a same-named section in the configuration file of PDM interface. Detailed information on configuration of login dialogs is found in the beginning section of the file PdmLoginService.cfg.

If a dialog is activated, a default for the fields can be set in the PDM interface configuration file (section name identical to PdmLoginService.cfg). Furthermore after a successful login procedure, used login data can be stored encrypted for a later use (default, auto login, etc.) in the USER directory (PdmLoginService.cfg) (first has to be activated).
