Before configuring
Identity Manager
for localization, note the following:- Identity Managermust be installed and configured, and at least one Environment must exist.If you are using CA SSO and your Environment manages users with multi-byte user IDs, those users must authenticate with a CA SSO authentication scheme that supports multi-byte characters. For example, HTML Forms Based authentication. The basic authentication scheme does not support multi-byte authentication. For information on configuring an authentication scheme forIdentity Manager, see the chapter on configuring CA SSO Features forIdentity Managerin theConfiguration Guide.
- If you are using CA SSO, ensure that a supported version of the CA SSO Policy Server is installed and configured.
- Ensure the user directory is configured to support localization. For more information, see the documentation for the user store you are using.
- If you are using an LDAP directory as a user store, verify that the LDAP directory is not enforcing a 7-bit check for the user ID, password, and email attribute. For more information, see the documentation for the LDAP directory you are using.
- If you are using an Oracle database object store, verify that the character set component in the NLS_LANG parameter, and the database character encoding are set to AL32UTF8, a multi-byte character set.Identity Manageruses multi-byte character encoding (UTF-8). If you specify a single-byte character set, characters may appear corrupted because of insufficient character space. For instructions on setting the NLS_LANG parameter and the database character encoding, see the Oracle documentation.
- Identity Managerincludes tools that you use to localize a newIdentity Managerenvironment.To use these tools, you need the following software:Java SDK native2ascii toolTranslates to and from Unicode escape sequences. Because localization mainly involves the translation of property files, the tools process all files in ASCII with Unicode escape sequences.To configure the localization tools, install the native2ascii tool by installing a JDK on the system where theIdentity ManagerAdministrative Tools are installed.For information about the native2ascii tool, go to the following location at the Java Web site:http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/index.htmlant 1.7 or greater
