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://HP SAMservername) 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 System Settings Tab on page 70 for more information.
