IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business: WebSEAL Administration ...

Multi-locale
messages
Standard
WebSEAL
server
responses
to
client
browsers,
such
as
error
messages,
custom
HTML
login
and
logout
pages,
and
serviceability
messages,
can
be
delivered
in
the
client’s
preferred
language.
WebSEAL
supports
multi-locale
capabilities
by
using
the
values
contained
in
the
accept-language
HTTP
header
to
determine
the
correct
language
for
server-generated
messages
and
HTML
pages.
Translated
information
is
available
for
the
following
server
resources:
v
HTTP
error
messages
install_path/www/lib/errors/locale_directory
v
Custom
account
management
pages
install_path/www/lib/html/locale_directory
v
Serviceability
messages
Browsers
adopt
a
standard
set
of
language
values.
Basic
language
values
are
represented
by
two
characters,
indicating
the
language.
Location-specific
values
are
expressed
in
a
two
part
format,
indicating
the
language
and
the
country
where
this
version
of
the
language
is
used.
Examples
include:
v
es
(Spanish)
v
de
(German)
v
en
(English)
v
it
(Italian)
v
en-US
(English/United
States)
v
en-GR
(English/United
Kingdom)
v
es-ES
(Spanish/Spain)
v
es-MX
(Spanish/Mexico)
v
pt-BR
(Portuguese/Brazil)
The
accept-language
header
can
include
more
than
one
language.
Each
additional
language
is
separated
by
a
comma.
For
example:
accept-language:
es-mx,es,en
The
order
in
which
the
values
appear
in
the
header
determine
the
hierarchy
of
importance.
WebSEAL
checks
the
first
listed
value
for
an
existing
installed
language
pack.
If
no
language
pack
for
this
language
is
installed,
WebSEAL
checks
the
next
language
in
the
list
for
its
associated
language
pack.
Note:
The
accept-language
header
can
use
a
″q=x.x″
parameter
to
express
a
preference
level
for
a
language.
This
parameter
is
not
recognized
by
WebSEAL.
The
listed
order
of
languages
in
the
header
determines
the
order
of
priority
for
WebSEAL.
Several
language
packs
for
WebSEAL
server
messages
are
available
for
installation.
Each
language
pack
installation
creates
a
locale-specific
sub-directory
within
the
path
for
each
message
storage
location.
For
example,
a
Spanish
language
pack
creates
the
following
sub-directory
for
the
server
error
message
storage
location:
install_path/www/lib/errors/es
The
following
table
lists
the
languages
supported
by
WebSEAL,
with
the
associated
sub-directory
name:
Chapter
