CustomLabels.properties

The property key and value pairs in the CustomLabels.properties file are used by ISIM user interface to display the label text for forms. The key name must be entirely lowercase in each property key and value pair. A separate CustomLabels.properties file exists for each individual language supported by ISIM. This file is used to provide localized versions of graphical user interface elements when IBM Security Identity Manager is installed in international environments. Add the property key and value pairs in the CustomLabels.properties properties file to display any labels. For example, to display a two word access type - Business Applications,

  1. Specify the access key as businessApplications. The access type key cannot contain a space.
  2. Specify the value as Business Applications.

The entry in the CustomLabels.properties file to have "Business Applications" displayed in the user interface as the access type is businessApplications=Business Applications.

Access types that are part of a hierarchy of types have a special notation that we must use in the CustomLabels.properties file. Each node of the hierarchy must be in the key and separated by a period (.). For example, an access type that is called Applications has a child businessApplications. You want businessApplications to display as "Business Applications". The entry that you define in the CustomLabels.properties file is Applications.businessApplications=Business Applications.

A file name extension identifies the specific language. For example.
