HP SAM Administrator User Guide

Installation

■

Policies

—string value. Points to the section that lists policies that are loaded in the client's

Connection Type

drop-down box on the first 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 this value is set to 1, the program automatically tries to

connect on startup, without waiting for the user to enter login information. Default value is 0

(off).

■

DefaultUsername

—string value. If this 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. This field can be used to pre-populate the

password box. This field was intended for automated load testing in an environment where

security is not of importance.

Ä

CAUTION:

The

DefaultInsecurePassword

field is in plain text format and should not be used in a

production environment.

■

Failover

—integer value. When set to 1, this enables the failover capability of the client. If

there are multiple Web servers defined, the client fails over to the next available computing

resource when a connection to one 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).

■

EnablePassword

—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, this shows the

Password

box on the

client user interface. When set to 0, the password box is not available. Default is 0 (off).

■

ConnectionPort

—short integer value, in the range 1 to 65535. This is the port on which the

remote desktop service (such as Remote Desktop) listens on. For Remote Desktop, if not

specified, this value defaults to 3389. A value of 0 is ignored.

■

UILanguage

—Two-character language identifier. Currently the only identifier supported is

JP

for Japanese. If the identifier is not supported or the property is not present in the

configuration file, the application defaults to US English. The language support DLL must

be present to support a particular language.

✎

The UILanguage specified must either be the same language as the HP SAM client application

that you have installed or English. If you installed the English HP SAM client application, do not

change the value to any other language. In order to minimize disk space, the English HP SAM

client application does not contain any other HP SAM client language DLL.

Various methods are available to deploy the client application to multiple client access devices.

Following are two examples:

■

Use software deployment tools like HP Rapid Deployment Pack.

a.

Install the client application (

scw32-xx.msi

) on client units.

b.

Update the client config file to work with the HP SAM (see customization steps above).

■

Post the

scw32-xx.msi

and

hprdc.sam

file on a Web site or fileshare. Then instruct the

user(s) to

a.

Download and install the client software (

scw32-

xx

.msi

).

b.

Place the config file (

hprdc.sam

) on the desktop.
