Using ume.logon.locale to choose application language

[Former Member]

Hello all,

Have anyone of you ever used the ume.logon.locale parameter in order to allow user to choose their prefered language on connection ?

We've set ume.logon.locale to true in UME configuration.

Now a dropdown is being displayed on logon screen. However, it seems to have no effect on application.

I thought a workaround would be recovering the value of choosen language (from the HTTP request), and redirect my application to new URL with locale set.

But I don't know where, in my web dynpro project, I can access the HTTP request.

So, if onw of you know the answer of one of those two questions:

1. is it possible to connect language dropdown on logon screen to application ?

2. where and how can I access the HTTP request ?

Thanks in advance

Regards

You can access the http request parameters by using the WDWebContextAdapter

Thanks for your help Noufal...

Using this class, I was able to look at parameters received, but my application do not receives any of the parameters entered in logon screen.

Is there any way to access those parameters ?

I would be really glad if someone could help me with that...

I've already been looking at documentation on i18n, but I've not read, until now, anything talking about this language dropdown on logon screen...

Also, I've found a way to recover UME properties:

com.sap.security.api.util.IUMParameters params = UMFactory.getProperties();
params.get("ume.logon.locale");

But this, of course, returns me TRUE 😄 Since we've set the ume.logon.locale property of UME to true...

Why is the name of the dropdown the same of the parameter for UME configuration ?

It seems this language dropdown is of no use, at least in SP11, since its value can't be recovered in web dynpro application

You're right. The dropdown is of no use, I also ran into the same issue and was told it is no official feature (though everyone can see it?)
