If an LDAP-based provider such as Oracle Internet Directory is used, then language settings are changed in the Oracle Internet Directory community. Connect to the embedded LDAP server, where you can change language settings in the Oracle Internet Directory community.

1. Start an LDAP browser (for example, openLdap browser, ldapbrowser, jXplorer, and so on). See the documentation for your browser for instructions.

2. Connect to the LDAP server by providing the hostname, the port number on which the server is running, and the administration user credentials with which to log in.

   • For Embedded LDAP:

     1. The default managed server port number is 7001.

     2. The administration credential username is cn=admin.

     3. The administration password credential is accessible from the Oracle WebLogic Remote Console by selecting Security > Embedded LDAP for your domain.

        For instructions on changing the default password credential, see, "Managing the Embedded LDAP Server" of Administering Security for Oracle WebLogic Server.

   • For Oracle Internet Directory:

     1. The default port number is 3060.

     2. The administration username is cn=orcladmin.

     3. The administration password is the password for the LDAP server.

3. To change a user's preferred language, navigate to the user entry, and either add or set the preferredLanguage attribute. See Table 32-13 for a list of supported languages.

   You can also determine the language in which user names are displayed. To do this task, navigate to the user entry in the LDAP directory, then add or specify the displayname attribute.

   Note:

   • The user name that appears in the Assignee column in the worklist does not honor the setting of the displayname attribute.

   • Display names are taken from LDAP. So even when you change the display name, only the LDAP user name is displayed when you log into workspace.

   To change the time zone setting, either add or set the orclTimeZone attribute. The format of the time zone string is Continent/Region. You can find the time zone values in the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/zi directory. The directories specify the continent names, for example, Africa, Asia, America, and so on, while the files within the directories specify the regions. Some regions include subregions, for example America/Indiana/Indianapolis.

   When a user logs in, the worklist pages are rendered in the user's preferred language and time zone.
