HP Session Allocation Manager (HP SAM) v.3.1 Administrator's Guide

Additional settings can be set by manually editing the .SAM files (configuration files).
1. The HP SAM connection client searches first for the user-specific .SAM file, hprdc.sam.
2. It then checks the access device file, /root/writable/opt/hpsam/hprdc_accessdevice.sam.
Parameters found in the access device file replace or are added to the merged file.
3. Then, the connection client checks the file, /root/writable/opt/hpsam/hprdc_admin.sam.
Parameters found in the global file replace or are added to the merged file.
Refer to
Configuration Settings on page 36 for a list of the options available for the Linux Client.
