Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Developer's Guide

Localization Files

After you deploy the opensso.war file the localized files are located in the following directory:

OpenSSO-Deploy-base/WEB-INF/classes

OpenSSO-Deploy-base represents the deployment directory where the web container deployed the opensso.war file.

In addition to US English (en_US), OpenSSO Enterprise includes localized properties files for these languages:

A localization properties file, sometimes also referred to as an i18n (internationalization) properties file, specifies the screen text and error messages that an administrator or user sees when directed to the attribute configuration page for an authentication module. The properties files are global to the OpenSSO Enterprise instance.

Each authentication module has its own properties file that follows the naming following format:

amAuthmodulename.properties

For example, amAuthLDAP.properties is for the default language (US English, ISO-8859-1), amAuthLDAP_ja.properties is for Japanese, and so on.

You can adapt Java applications to these various languages without code changes by translating the values in these respective localization properties file.

The following table summarizes the localization properties files for each authentication module.
