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

Customization Steps
(Recommended)
1. Start up the HP SAM client.
When you launch the HP SAM client (by executing /opt/hpsam/hprdclx.sh) your saved settings will
take effect.
2. Type the HP SAM Web server name.
3. Click Options.
4. Change the appropriate connection settings.
5. Click Save.
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, /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, /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 RHEL Client.
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.
●
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 settings that are loaded in the client’s
Load Predefined Settings list on the Other tab of the Options section. This allows the
administrator to pre-define a number of settings associated with various connection types. Refer
to
Policy Entries on page 42.
●
DefaultPolicy—string value. This is the policy that should be selected by default in the client’s
Load Predefined Settings list on the Other tab of the Options section. It is not related to HP SAM
policies set in the HP SAM Web Administrator console.
●
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.
