●

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.

●

DefaultInsecurePassword

—string value. You can use this field to pre-populate the password box.

This field was intended for automated load testing in an environment where security is not of

importance.

CAUTION:

The

DefaultInsecurePassword

field is in plain text format and should not be used

in a production environment.

●

Failover

—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, enables the failover capability of the access device.

If multiple Web servers are defined, the access device fails over to the next available HP SAM Web

Server when a connection 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).

●

EnablePublicRoles

—integer value, 0 or 1. If set to 1, the HP SAM client will show any available

public roles for the user to connect to. If set to 0, the HP SAM client will hide public roles. Default

is 1 (show).

●

ResetAfterSession

—integer value, 0 or 1. If set to 1, access device settings are reset back to

defaults after each session. This is useful in kiosk mode to clear previous user settings. The default

is 0. Not valid for Windows CE.

●

KioskMode

—integer value. Not valid for Blade Workstation Client series or Windows CE. When

set to non-zero, the user interface is altered for use in a kiosk-mode environment. Valid values

include:

◦

Bit 1

– Enable/disable the

Cancel

button (if 1, disable)

◦

Bit 2


Minimize

toolbar button (if 1, disable)

◦

Bit 3


Close

toolbar button (if 1, disable)

Default value is 0 (all features are enabled). For example, to turn off the

Cancel

and

Minimize

buttons and leave the

Close

button on, set the value to 3.

●

DisplayShutdown

—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, an action button is added to the client

user interface to enable the user to shut down the access device. This is the same button created

by the

DisplayShutdown

,

DisplayRestart

, and

DisplayLogoff

options. If the button already

displays from another option setting, the

Shutdown

option is added to the button drop-down. Not

valid for Blade Workstation Client series or Windows CE. The default value is 0 (do not show).

●

DisplayRestart

—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, an action button is added to the client user

interface to enable the user to restart the access device. This is the same action button created by

the

DisplayShutdown

,

DisplayRestart

, and

DisplayLogoff

options. If the button already displays

from another option setting, the

Restart

option is added to the button drop-down. Not valid for

Blade Workstation Client series or Windows CE. The default value is 0 (do not show).

●

DisplayLogoff

—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, an action button is added to the client user

interface to enable the user to log off the access device. This is the same action button created by

the

DisplayShutdown

,

DisplayRestart

, and

DisplayLogoff

options. If the button already displays

from another option setting, the

Logoff

option is added to the button drop-down. Not valid for Blade

Workstation Client series or Windows CE. The default value is 0 (do not show).
