Symptoms

You are going to use non-lating characters on your installation of the Office 365 Application (version 4.11 or higher).

Cause

The Office 365 Application version 4.x uses APS 1.2 for integration. So, additional configuration actions are required to add non-lating characters support.

Resolution

Linux-based Provisioning Gateway Host

Perform the following actions:

  1. Log on to the host as root.
  2. Make sure the mbstring PHP extension is installed and enabled. For example, use the phpinfo() method.
  3. Specify the following options in the php.ini configuration file:
    • mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8
    • mbstring.http_output = UTF-8
    • output_handler = mb_output_handler
  4. Restart the HTTPD service using the service httpd restart command.

Windows-based Provisioning Gateway Host

Important: One Windows-based Provisioning Gateway Host can be used to support one language with non-latin characters.

  1. Log on to the host as Administrator.
  2. Make sure the mbstring PHP extension is installed and enabled. For example, use the phpinfo() method.
  3. Specify the following options in the php.ini configuration file:
    • mbstring.internal_encoding = CHARACTER_ENCODING_OF_TARGET_LANGUAGE
    • mbstring.http_output = UTF-8
    • output_handler = mb_output_handler
  4. Restart the IIS service using the iisreset command.
  5. Set the target language as default for non-Unicode applications.
