Question Answer
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data
source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false"
timeout="110" />
If you increase the value above 120 minutes, you also need to
modify the WEB.CONFIG file under the manage subfolder
(usually c:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SAM\manage).
Use Notepad to edit the file. Modify the time-out value in the
line as below from 120 to the new value.
<forms loginUrl="login.aspx"
protection="All" name="daeck" path="/"
timeout="120"></forms>
Question Answer
How do I change the HP SAM datagram communication port
to another value beside the default 47777?
Modify the connection.config file located on the HP SAM
Web server in the HP SAM installation directory (usually c:
\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SAM). Use Notepad to edit
the file. Add this line in the appSettings section:
<add key="ProtocolChannel" Value="port
number"/>
Where port number is the new HP SAM datagram
communication port you want to use.
You must stop and restart the HP Session Allocation
Management Service on the HP SAM Web server. You must
also update the HP SAM registration service hpevent.cfg file
on all computing resources to use the same HP SAM datagram
communication port, then restart the HP SAM registration
service on all computing resources. Also update the
appropriate firewall rules on the HP SAM Web server and the
computing resources.
Question Answer
Can I use double-byte numbers in the user name? No. HP SAM only supports single-byte numbers.
Question Answer
I get warning messages when I am operating in a double-byte
character set (DBCS) Asian language on the HP SAM
administrator console and I input numeric values in System
Settings tab.
HP SAM administrator console accepts only single-byte
numbers as a value.
