Internet Explorer-Based Client
An access device can access HP SAM using Internet Explorer. To use the HP SAM Internet Explorer-
based client, type the server name (http://
HPSAMservername
) in the Internet Explorer address bar.
If the access device is accessing the HP SAM server for the first time, the access device needs to install
two ActiveX controls (HP SAM Web Client Utility Class and Microsoft RDP Client Control). The installed
location for these controls are in the
%SystemRoot%\Downloaded Program Files\
folder.
There are other HP SAM Internet Explorer-based client configuration settings that you can control from
the HP SAM server. Refer to the System Settings section for more information.
NOTE:
HP recommends that you add the HP SAM Web server to the Trusted Sites list. On the access
device, open Internet Explorer and go to
Tools
>
Internet Options
>
Security
tab.
If a 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 HP SAM 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 access device connects to
the HP SAM Web server.
The HP SAM ActiveX controls support RDP 5.0 only, even if RDP 6.0 or RGS is installed.
For the HP thin client running Windows XPe, the installation of the HP SAM ActiveX components may
be repeated every time the access device is rebooted, if it is not saved as part of the thin client image.
