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

General
This page allows the administrator to define the settings for the entire system. Make the appropriate
change(s) and click Save to apply.
●
History—If selected, the system records and retains historical data for reports for the number of
days selected in the Keep raw data for list. Use this option to limit the history database size.
Microsoft SQL 2000 MSDE and 2005 Express Edition include a database size limit of 4 GB. Data
older than the value in the Keep raw data for list is summarized into one entry per day. You can
view history data from the Reports tab.
●
Expired Password—If selected, the system allows users with expired passwords to log on, but
they are required to update their passwords immediately. This setting is valid only for RGS 5.1 or
higher or RDP.
●
Log—If selected, the system collects audit log data. You can view log data from the Log tab.
●
New Role Settings—When a new role is created (computing resource self-registers with a role
that is brand new to the system), the flags are set accordingly based on the value assigned.
◦
Enabled—If selected, when a new role is created, the role's enable flag is set to checked,
which means the role is available immediately for allocation.
◦
Public—If selected, when a new role is created, the public flag is set to checked, which means
the role does not require any user access restriction.
●
New Resource Setting—When a new computing resource self-registers, the system immediately
sets it enabled or disabled for allocation.
●
Time Zone Synchronization—If selected, the time zone setting on the computing resource is set
to the same time zone as the user’s access device.
●
Synchronization Request Retries—The number of retries the system performs before marking
the resources as offline.
●
Synchronization Time Between Retries—The number of seconds the system waits between the
retries for the synchronization operation.
●
User Sign-in Time Out—The number of seconds allowed for the user to complete the log on
process. If time expires without completing a logon, the computing resource is returned to the
available list.
●
Multi-Session Autoconnection—When enabled, allows the system to autoconnect to all blades
when user is on an access device without a monitor layout ID assigned. Select one or more:
◦
Dedicated Resources
◦
Roles with Public Enabled
◦
Roles with Public Disabled
●
Client-Resource Network—When the access device connects to the computing resource, you
can specify which method it uses.
◦
Host Name—If this is chosen, the system passes the resource Computer Name to the access
device in order to connect and relies on the DNS server to resolve the name to the appropriate
IP address.
◦
IP Address—If this is chosen, the system passes the IP address of the computing resource
to the user access device to connect. If the computing resource has more than one network
card, you must specify an option.
