How to Enable a Country Flag in ADSS Portal

AD Self Service Portal
Overview
This guide explains how to enable a country flag (e.g., UAE) in the ADSS Portal by retrieving the correct flag file name and updating the database accordingly.
 
Prerequisites
  • Access to the ADSS Portal installation directory
  • Access to SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
  • Permissions to update database tables
 
Step 1: Locate Flag Files
  1. Navigate to the following directory on the ADSSP Portal server: C:\Program Files\ADSS Portal\Portal\wwwroot\assets\media\flags

  1. Inside this folder, you will find multiple flag files in .svg format.
  2. Identify the required country flag file. 
    • Example: united-arab-emirates.svg
 Step 2: Copy the Flag Name
  1. Copy the file name without the .svg extension. 
    • Example: united-arab-emirates
 
Step 3: Update Database
  1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
  2. Connect to the relevant database.
  3. Open the table: tblLanguages
  4. Locate the relevant language record.
  5. In the LanguageFlag column, paste the copied flag name. 
    • Example value: united-arab-emirates
 
Step 4: Save Changes
  • Execute the update query or save the changes in the table.
  • Ensure no errors occur during the update.
 
Verification
  • Refresh the ADSS Portal.
  • Confirm that the selected country flag (e.g., UAE) is now displayed correctly under languages.
 
Notes
  • Ensure the flag file exists in the directory before updating the database.
  • The flag name must match exactly (case-sensitive depending on system configuration).
  • Do not include the .svg extension in the database field.
