Administrator's Guide HP Session Allocation Manager (SAM) v.2.1

Configuration Settings
Options
There are additional options to configure the settings. You can set these options by manually editing
the .SAM file. The following list provides supported keys and values within the [HPRDC] section.
●
Gateways—string value. Points to the section that lists HP SAM Servers.
●
DefaultPolicy—string value. This is the policy that should be selected by default.
●
DefaultDomain—string value. This is a default value to be loaded in the Domain edit box on the
client user interface. If this value is not specified, the program attempts to determine the domain
from the user’s login information, which may or may not be accurate.
●
Policies—string value. Points to the section that lists policies that are loaded in the client’s
Connection Type list on the Other tab of the Options section. This allows the administrator to
pre-define a number of policies associated with various connection types.
●
Autodial—integer value, 0 or 1. If value is set to 1, the program automatically tries to connect on
startup, without waiting for the user to type login information. Default value is 0.
●
DefaultUsername—string value. If value is not specified, the program attempts to determine the
user name from the user’s login information, which may or may not be accurate.
●
DefaultInsecurePassword—string value. You can use this field to pre-populate the password box.
This field was intended for automated load testing in an environment where security is not of
importance.
CAUTION: The DefaultInsecurePassword field is in plain text format and should not be used
in a production environment.
●
Failover—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, enables the failover capability of the access device.
If multiple Web servers are defined, the access device fails over to the next available computing
resource when a connection fails. Turning this feature on limits the user’s ability to type in a new
HP SAM server; the user still has the ability to choose between Web servers defined in the
configuration file. Default value is 0 (off).
●
EnablePublicRoles—integer value, 0 or 1. If set to 1, the HP SAM client will show any available
public roles for the user to connect to. If set to 0, the HP SAM client will hide public roles. Default
is 1 (show).
●
ResetAfterSession—integer value, 0 or 1. If set to 1, access device settings are reset back to
defaults after each session. This is useful in kiosk mode to clear previous user settings. The default
is 0.
●
KioskMode—integer value. Not valid for Blade Workstation Client series. When set to non-zero,
the user interface is altered for use in a kiosk-mode environment. Valid values include:
◦
Bit 1 – Enable/disable the Cancel button (if 1, disable)
◦
Bit 2 – Enable/disable the Minimize toolbar button (if 1, disable)
◦
Bit 3 – Enable/disable the Close toolbar button (if 1, disable)
