WEB SERVERS

Storing Web user preferences in cookies
Web users can configure their own time zone and regional preferences. Customized preferences are stored in cookies that reside in Web client browsers. Thus, your preferences can't be used if you access the server from a browser other than the one for which you set up cookies.

1. From the Domino Administrator, choose Configuration - Web - Internet Sites.

2. Choose the Web Site document you want to edit and click Edit Document.

3. Click Domino Web Engine. Under "Web User Preferences," complete these fields:
FieldAction
Store user preferences in cookiesChoose one:
  • Disabled -- Users cannot customize their regional preferences
  • Single Server -- Cookies for customized preferences are generated for current Web site/server only
  • Multi-server -- Cookies for customized preferences are generated for the DNS domain to which the current Web site/server belongs
Default regional localeUse this field for those cases in which a user does not have any custom regional settings enabled for their browser, and the format option for regional setting fields is set to "user's setting." This information is needed for formatting date, time, number, and currency fields.
  • Server locale -- Use server's operating system settings.
  • Browser's accept-language (default) -- Use browser's accept-language. By default, both Internet Explorer and Netscape send HTTP requests with the accept-language header in the user's preferred language(s).
