Installation

✎

It is recommended that the HP SAM Web server be added to the Trusted Sites list. This can be

done from

Tools > Internet Options

in the

Security

tab on the client access device.

If any firewall is installed, you need to make appropriate changes to allow the HP SAM server

client through. For example, if HP Sygate Security Agent is installed, add a rule to allow port

3389 for application

IEXPLORE.EXE

.

The HP SAM ActiveX controls are stored as source for distribution on the HP SAM Web server

during the Web server installation process.

If the ActiveX controls are replaced on the HP SAM Web server during an upgrade, the HP SAM

client is automatically upgraded to the newer version the next time the client access device

connects to the HP SAM Web server.

For the HP thin client running Windows XP Embedded, the installation of the ActiveX

components may be repeated every time the access device is rebooted, if it is not saved as part of

the thin client image.

2.3.2 Windows XP Embedded-Based Client

To install the HP SAM client on a Windows XP Embedded-based thin client or on a

desktop/notebook PC:

1. Log in to the access device under an account with local administrative rights and run the

scw32-

xx

.msi

file (replace

xx

with

EN

for English or

JP

for Japanese) to install the Windows

XP-based client.

2. Follow the installation wizard.

3. After the software is installed, verify the program is placed on the start menu (

Start > All

Programs > Hewlett-Packard > HP PC Session Allocation Client

).

Customization Steps

(Recommended)

1. Start up the HP SAM client.

2. Enter in the HP SAM Web server name.

3. Click the

Options

button.

4. Change appropriate connection settings.

5. Click

Save Settings

button.

6. Select

Desktop

in the

Save in

drop-down box.

7. Click the

Save

button.

There are additional options to configure the settings. These can be set by manually editing the

.HP SAM file. Here is the list of 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 UI. 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.
