How to localize the Self-Service Portal HelpdeskURL
You can configure a localized version of the Self-Service Portal URL to display to end users by default. The Self-Service Portal URL is represented by the parameter HelpdeskURL.
If you create a localized version, as described in the following instructions, Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) finds and displays the localized version. If MBAM doesn't find a localized version, it displays the URL that is configured for the parameter HelpDeskURL.
Note
In the following instructions, SelfService is the default virtual directory name for the Self-Service Portal. You might have used a different name when you configured the Self-Service Portal.
To localize the Self-Service Portal URL
On the server where you configured the Self-Service Portal, browse to Sites > Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring > SelfService > Application Settings.
In the Actions pane, select Add to open the Add Application Setting dialog box.
In the Name field, type
HelpdeskURL_<Language>
, where<Language>
is the appropriate language code for the URL.For example, to create a localized version of the
HelpdeskURL
value in Spanish-Spain, name the parameterHelpdeskURL_es-es
.The name of the Language folder can also be the language neutral name
es
instead ofes-es
. If the user's browser is set toes-es
and that folder doesn't exist, the parent locale (as defined in .NET) is recursively retrieved and checked, resolving to<MBAM Self-Service Install Directory>\SelfServiceWebsite\es\Notice.txt
before finally becoming the default Notice.txt file. This recursive fallback mimics the .NET resource loading rules.For a list of the valid language codes you can use, see Windows Language Code Identifier (LCID) Reference.
In the Value field, type the localized version of the
HelpdeskURL
value that you want to display to end users.
