Policies Tab
Policy management allows administrator to override the user’s HP SAM client settings. In general, the
user is allowed the flexibility to customize the connection settings on the client side. If there are specific
settings that the user must always connect with, then the administrator must use the Policies tab to
define the forced settings.
The HP SAM hierarchical policy has 5 levels:
●
Global
●
Role
●
OU (organizational unit)
●
Security Group
●
User
Steps:
1. Create or update the policy in the Policies tab. To update an existing policy, click the policy name
hyperlink.
2. Assign the policy:
●
to the role (User and Roles > Manage resource roles)
●
to a user, OU, or Security Group (User and Roles > Manage users >)
HP SAM always creates the Global Policy. This policy applies to all user connections. The default sets
the Auto Reconnect box to Off. This ensures two people cannot log in to the same blade. When a network
failure or something similar occurs, the user may unknowingly have been logged off that resource. HP
SAM may allocate that computing resource to another user. If the auto-reconnect feature is turned on,
the original user reconnects to this computing resource, which could potentially have been allocated to
another person. If this is not a concern, then change Auto Reconnect to an appropriate value.
