Globalization Settings

The Globalization Settings contain attributes that enable you to configure Federation Manager for different locales and character sets. The attributes include:

Charsets Supported by Each Locale

This attribute lists the character sets supported for each locale, which indicates the mapping between locale and character set.

The following tasks are associated with character set support.

Charset Aliases

This attribute lists the codeset names (which map to IANA names) that will be used to send the response. These codeset names do not need to match Java codeset names. Currently, there is a hash table to map Java character sets into IANA character sets and vice versa. The following tasks are associated with character set aliases.

The following tasks are associated with character set support.

Auto Generated Common Name Format

This display option allows you to define the way in which a name is automatically generated to accommodate name formats for different locales and character sets. The default syntax is as follows (please note that including commas and/or spaces in the definition will display in the name format):

en_us = {givenname} {initials} {sn}

For example, if you wanted to display a new name format for a user (User One) with a uid (11111) for the Chinese character set, define:

zh = {sn}{givenname}({uid})

The display is:

OneUser 11111
