UTF-8

CorporateTime Server uses UTF-8, an 8 bit encoding of 16 bit UNICODE, to achieve an international character representation on the server. Data passed to the CorporateTime Server must be converted from the source character set to UTF-8. When the data is read from the CorporateTime Server, it once again passes through a conversion from UTF-8 to the character set defined on the display device. This functionality is crucial in heterogeneous environments where data may be entered in one character set and retrieved in another.

Configuration

The utf8_autoconvert parameter in the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file controls the conversion and storage of CorporateTime data in the UTF-8 format. By default, this feature is enabled.

Section

[ENG]

Parameter

utf8_autoconvert

Description

This parameter enables or disables the conversion of input data to UTF-8.

Accepted values

TRUE (UTF-8 conversion is enabled)

FALSE (UTF-8 conversion is disabled)

Default value

The default value is TRUE

Character set identification

In order to successfully complete the conversion to or from UTF-8, the server must know the source or destination character set. The character set used by the directory server is defined by the parameter [LDAP] charset in the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file. Client character sets are either identified explicitly to the server by the application itself, or determined based on the operating system of the client. If necessary, it is possible to manually set the definition of the client character set by inserting the appropriate parameter in the [LOCALE] section of the unison.ini file.

Japanese server configuration

If installing CorporateTime Server on a Japanese operating system, the following parameters in the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file should be set to the indicated values. See Chapter 7 "Server Configuration" for more detailed explanations of the function of each parameter.
