MantisBT to be conform to FDA's "Part 11"?

[aequatio42]

Hello community,

the company I am working for needs an 'Issue Tracker' for a new project, where we develop software for medical devices. So we need to be conform with the specifications the FDA requires.

We also want a Open-Source-Software. With all the requirements we (and the FDA) have, MantisBT seems to be one of the candidates who fits most. But there is only one problem: To satisfy the requirements of electronical signatures, we of course have to fulfill the '21 CFR Part 11'.

In this audittrails are required, which is in my eyes, fulfilled with Mantis' 'History' for each bug, isn't it?
But a second requirement gives me headaches... Part 11 says at §11.200(a)(1)(i) "... subsequent signings shall be executed using (the password)...". How can we handle this with MantisBT? Is there a plugin or configuration I didn't detected? Or do we have to code so with every submit the password is checked?

I really hope anyone can help So I don't think i am the first guy with this problem Thanks to all for reading and replying and have a nice day

So my boss gave me a timeslot to contribute to program this feature in an Open-Source-Project. But I have a few questions to decide which one we will take, hoping anyone can give me an answer

- How big is the chance this feature (password requesting for every submit after changing anything in a ticket) will be adopted in the Mantis-Project?
- If there is a high chance, how long will it take?
- Would this change be complicated in Mantis?

Thanks for reading =)

The best way to implement such a functionality is to write a plugin

any updates?

That would be good if anyone here may create such features to meet FDA's requirement. The MANTISBT may be introduced in pharmaceutical fields without any doubts.

seems to be the same request as made by "frankone".
In that topic I indicated that aplugin does not seem to be a very big task and I would look into it.
What it boilds down to, as far as i understood, is that when pressing the submit button with a new ticket or pressing the update button for an existing button, the user processing the ticket should provide password again. Only after successfull validation, database can be updated.
Is this the full picture?

@amphetamine,
did you follow the instructions for installing?
Did you place the events @ the right place?
Which version of Mantis/OS are you using?

1. in bug_update_page.php, there are 2 places have the same code,

Code: Select all

<input <?php helper_get_tab_index(); ?>
type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-white btn-round" 
value="<?php echo lang_get( 'update_information_button' ); ?>" />

fixed issue

2. bug_report_page.php
there are two "*required" on bottom right corner

I need to check this later tonight and provide better instructions
On my installation it is working fine.

Here is a small update on the FDA plugin:
Adjusted the documentation:
now reflects the 2 positions which require adjustment in bug_update_page.php
Fixed some minor bugs ( double red asterisk and line break )
Thanks to Amphetamine for testing and reporting.

Now also included the 4 source files for mantis 2.21 ( to be found in doc\mantis2.21)

Hopefully fixed all bugs now

still there as shown on attached picture.

is it possible to remove password cookies when submit the issue?

Unfortunately i did not update pages/check1.php in the distribution.
I will prepare a new one.
For now, you can remove the following lines form check1.php:

Code: Select all

<div class="widget-toolbox padding-8 clearfix">
<span class="required pull-right"> * <?php echo lang_get( 'required' ) ?></span>
