1. What is CDLS?

The Aeronautical Center Contractor Depot Logistics Support System (CDLS) is an Internet-based requisitioning bridge for the Logistics Center and outside vendors for supply support activity. These activities consist of ordering, shipping, and tracking.

The website also provides the ability to research History records for site usage, as well as common identifiers such as priority and returns. CDLS is a web-based application and consequently does not require client side software. Users access the system via a web browser of their choice. The CDLS application recommends Microsoft’s Internet Explorer version 5.0 or greater.

2. System Access and Security

System access and security features in CDLS include:

• User accounts consisting of a username and password, for user authentication

• User profiles with pertinent information about the user’s location, contact numbers

• Roles and responsibilities assigned to users, restricting data access to areas needed for the user’s job duties
