Installation Considerations

System Locale Must Match the Language of Installation and Configuration Directories

To install and configure a CA SiteMinder® component to a non-English directory, set the system to the same locale as the directory. Also, make sure that you installed the required language packages so the system can display and users can type localized characters in the installer screens.

For the details on how to set locale and required language packages, refer to respective operating system documents.

Considerations for Localized Installations

When installing the SiteMinder SDK on a system with a non-English operating system, remember that the smpolicyapi is an UTF-8 based API . The library expects UTF-8 encoded strings as input. It returns UTF-8 encoded strings as output parameters.
