Password Display Options
Password Phonetic Alphabet
The View Password window in OVERLAPS supports showing the password using a Phonetic Alphabet (e.g. Alpha, Bravo, etc.). We have provided a series of standard phonetic alphabets to choose between here.
The Phonetic Alphabet information is loaded from text files located in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\OVERLAPS\Lang\PasswordAlphabets
You can modify these or create your own in any plain text editor. The format required is:
- One character per line.
- First enter the character to be replaced, then a tab character, and then the phonetic alternative to replace the character with.
- The case of the letter is shown by changing the case of the phonetic replacement, so only lowercase values are permitted (everything is converted to lowercase on load).
- Some punctuation is allowed, but to avoid display errors some characters may be removed or encoded.
For example:
a alpha
b beta
…
Use Large Password Dialog
If you have configured LAPS to generate particularly long random passwords (27 characters or more), the password view dialog may require users to scroll to see the full password. Checking this box will tell OVERLAPS to use a wider window on displays that support it so that the full password can be viewed.
System Language
You can use this to modify the default system language used by OVERLAPS. This will act as the default language in cases where a user has not selected a language in their profile, and where their web browser does not suggest a valid language code to use.
Date and TIme Settings
Date Format
Change this to your preferred local date format.
If the format you prefer is not found in the list, it can be customised using standard Date format notation in the Configuration Utility’s Settings tab (remember to reload the OVERLAPS service after modifying it).
Use Local Time (Server Time)
By default, OVERLAPS will use the local time zone of the server it is installed on when displaying times. However, if you operate across multiple time zones and would prefer to use UTC then simply uncheck this box.
