Pass on Localized Settings to Unprotected Resources

For an unprotected resource like self-registration, the SM_LOCALE value is set as a hidden variable upon submitting a DMS form. For example:

<FORM NAME="newForm" METHOD=POST>

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="SMLOCALE" value="EN-US">

To ensure localized settings are passed correctly:

1. Remove the SM_LOCALE variable from the resource target in both the loginandregister-dms-i.fcc and loginandregisterwithforgottenpassword-dms-i.fcc files.

   These files are located in web_agent_home/Samples/dmsforms.

2. Verify that the locale value is captured through the header variable (SM_LOCALE) for protected resources and as a query parameter (SMLOCALE) for unprotected resources.

   Note: For more information, see the Policy Server documentation.

3. For an unprotected resource, verify that the locale value is passed from one form to another.

Note: If you are using Registration Services (DMS2) together with Password Services, note that Password Services no longer uses SM_LOCALE to determine localized settings. Instead, it uses the ACCEPT_LANGUAGE variable from the user's browser. Although DMS2 still uses SM_LOCALE when it passes the value of SM_LOCALE to Password Services, this value is disregarded in favor of the ACCEPT_LANGUAGE variable.
