Data logging

Due to security-relevant events that have occurred, relevant access data is stored each time the web servers of the IT Group for the Humanities (ITG) of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) are accessed.

Depending on the access protocol used, the log data record contains information with the following contents:

  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of the request
  • Access method/function requested by the requesting computer
  • Input values transmitted by the requesting computer (file name, …)
  • Access status of the web server (file transferred, file not found, command not executed, etc.)
  • Name of the requested file
  • URL from which the file was requested/the requested function was initiated

Purpose of logging

The stored data is used for the purpose of identifying and tracking unauthorized access attempts and accesses to the web server and – in anonymized form – optimizing the web offering.

Retention period

The logged data is stored for a period of three months and then deleted.

Active components

Activ-X-Controls and Javascript applications are used in the LMU’s information offering. The use of these functionalities can be switched off by the respective user by setting the browser program. In some cases, so-called cookies are used on the website, e.g. for the identification of user sessions. The storage of these cookies can be switched off by the setting in the browser.

Evaluation

The evaluation is carried out exclusively by ITG employees on behalf of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University.
