Determining the Session Language When the Sign-in Page is Bypassed

The PeopleSoft system offers the following ways to sign in to a PeopleSoft session without seeing the sign-in page:

• Direct access.

  You can configure the web server to enable users to access the PeopleSoft system without having to sign in. In these cases, users access the system using a predetermined user ID.

  The language preference for users who access the system this way is determined by the user profile language preference for that user ID.

• When bypassing the sign-in page, you can override the user profile language preference by explicitly setting the language within a direct query string using the parameter &languageCd=target_language.

• Single sign-in.

  You need to select a language preference only once during the single sign-in.

  All subsequent PeopleSoft sessions that are controlled by the single sign-in use the same language preference.
