Information about 0x04??.ini files in ITM installer and depot.
 Technote (FAQ)
 
This document applies only to the following language version(s):
Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese
 
Question
What is included in 0x04??.ini files? Why do they contain the phrase "PASSWORD"? What are they used for?
 
Cause
Because of the contents, these files may be marked as potential problems in some security audits.
 
Answer
There are a total of 14 such files for 14 languages. Depending on the language selected, each file is used during remote deployment setup for agents. You will find these files in the installation media for ITM as well as in the depot bundles.

Underlying variables and error message codes used in the installation of ITM components are translated in these files. Depending on the install image and build entries will vary. This is the reason we see the following in the 0x0407.ini file:

OK=OK
Cancel=Abbrechen
Password=Kennwort:
1100=Setup-Initialisierungsfehler

Whereas we see the following English translation in the 0x0409.ini file:

OK=OK
Cancel=Cancel
Password=Password:
1100=Setup Initialization Error

These files only contain messages specific to the language used, and are not related to passwords. When these are fetched by ITM there is no potential harm.
