Customize password spell out

When creating a new password, for example during password reset, Adaxes provides the option to spell it out phonetically. It can be useful to remember the new password or communicate it to a user over the phone. You can change the words used in the phonetic alphabet and translate it to different languages.

To customize password spell out:

1. On the computer where Adaxes service is installed, navigate to folder C:\Users\All Users\Softerra\Adaxes 3.

2. Open the SpellOutDictionary.xml file with a text editor.

3. To change the word used to spell out a specific character:

   • Locate the spellOutDictionary\dictionary XML element for the language you need.

     Tip

     The two-letter ISO 639-1 language code is specified in the xml:lang parameter of the dictionary XML element (e.g. xml:lang="en" for English).

   • Locate the item XML element for the character you need.

   • Change the value of the word parameter.

   <spellOutDictionary ... >
       ...
       <dictionary xml:lang="en">
           <item char="A" word="August" />
   

4. To add spell out for a new language:

   • Add the dictionary XML element to the spellOutDictionary element.
   • In the xml:lang parameter of the dictionary element, specify a two-letter ISO 639-1 language code (e.g. es for Spanish).
   • For each character that should be spelled out, add the item XML element with the following parameters:
     • char - the character to spell out.
     • word - the word that will be used to spell out the character.

   <spellOutDictionary ... >
       ...
       </dictionary>
       <dictionary xml:lang="es">
           <item char="A" word="Antonio" />
           <item char="B" word="Burgos" />
           ...
           <item char="Ñ" word="Ñoño" />
           ...
       </dictionary>
   </spellOutDictionary>
   

5. Save the file.
