System Settings Tab
This tab allows the administrator to set how the HP SAM server behaves.
General
This page allows the administrator to define the settings for the entire system. Make the appropriate change(s) and click Save to apply.
●New Role Settings—When a new role is created (computing resource self-registers with a role that is brand new to the system), the flags are set accordingly based on the value assigned.
◦Enabled—If selected, when a new role is created, the role's enable flag is set to checked, which means the role is available immediately for allocation.
◦Public—If selected, when a new role is created, the public flag is set to checked, which means the role does not require any user access restriction.
●New Resource Setting—When a new computing resource self-registers, the system immediately sets it enabled or disabled for allocation.
●Time Zone Synchronization—If selected, the time zone setting on the computing resource is set to the same time zone as the user’s access device.
●Log—If selected, the system collects audit log data. You can view log data from the Log tab.
NOTE: Log data can quickly and significantly increase the size of the HP SAM database. If enabled, it is highly recommended that you set up a log maintenance schedule. See Audit Log Clean Up Scheduler on page 73.
●History—If selected, the system records and retains historical data for reports for the number of days selected in the Keep raw data for list. Use this option to limit the history database size. Microsoft 2005 or 2008 Express Edition includes a database size limit of 4 GB. Data older than the value in the Keep raw data for list is summarized into one entry per day. You can view history data from the Reports tab.
●Authenticate Before Allocation—If selected, HP SAM will authenticate user's passwords with AD before allocating a resource to the user. This may be desirable in security-conscious environments. If the Allow Expired Passwords option is enabled, HP SAM will allow users who have expired passwords to be allocated to resources so they can update the password using the operating system on the resource.
●Synchronization Request Retries—The number of retries the system performs before marking the resources as offline.
●Synchronization Time Between Retries—The number of seconds the system waits between the retries for the synchronization operation.
●User Sign-in Time Out—The number of seconds allowed for the user to complete the log on process. The resource will not be allocated to other users during this period. If time expires without completing a logon, the computing resource is returned to the available list.
●Access Restriction Warning Time Out—The time, in seconds, before the access restriction feature forces a logoff that the user will see a warning dialog regarding the impending logoff.
