DECIDE is a standard software system with many customers in several countries. These customers usually have different requirements regarding password and authorisation security due to their countries’ laws or their internal structures. Thus, pdv generally does not provide its own password management and authorisation system.
pdv acknowledges though that users (i.e. traders) need to be able to change their passwords and retrieve new passwords directly from within the DECIDE Retail Client. To enable Serisys to develop a password system, pdv provides an appropriate interface which will meet the aforementioned requirements.
The following section “Interface” describes the program calls that will be implemented in the DECIDE Retail Client. The next section “Requirement Coverage” shows how to map the brokers’ requirements to the provided interface.
