Configuring character encoding on WebSphere Application Server

FileNet® P8 requires two WebSphere® settings: com.ibm.CORBA.ORBCharEncoding, to specify the native encoding set of character data that Object Request Broker uses, and com.ibm.websphere.security.BasicAuthEncoding, to match the encoding used by Basic Authentication for Web Services so that client applications can access web services.

Procedure

To set character encoding parameters on WebSphere Application Server:

  1. Log on to the WebSphere administrative console.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name, where server_name is the name of one of your application servers.
  3. In the Container services section, click ORB service > Custom properties > New.
  4. In the Name field, enter com.ibm.CORBA.ORBCharEncoding, set the value to UTF8, and save your changes.
  5. In the Server Infrastructure section, click Java and process management > Process definition > Java virtual machine > Custom properties > New.
  6. In the Name field, enter com.ibm.websphere.security.BasicAuthEncoding, set the value to UTF8, and save your changes.
  7. Restart the application server.
  8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for your other application servers.
