Where do you set NLS_LANG

I am installing a third-party web application and the vendor is telling me to 
set NLS_LANG on the database server.  From what I have read on MOS, NLS_LANG is 
a client side setting and thus should be on the web server.
 
Can someone confirm my reasoning that this belongs on the web server and not 
the database server?
