7.If you want the system to automatically launch the HP SAM client when a users inserts a smart card, see steps a and b. (NOTE: Step a is the default setting.)

a.For the Windows-based client (default setting), edit the ‘scwatch.cfg’ file with the following:

[scwatch]

Action=c:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Session Allocation Client\hprdcw32.exe ActionDir=c:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Session Allocation Client\

— or —

b.For the Internet Explorer-based client, edit the ‘scwatch.cfg’ file with the following:

Action=c:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe http://HP SAMServername

8.Start the service by:

a.Clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.b.Right-clickingHP Smart Card Monitor Service.

c.Selecting Start.

For more information about HP SAM smart card settings, see Smart Card Settings on page 41.

You can configure smart card-related settings on the web client after you complete this procedure. From the HP SAM administrative console, go to System Settings > Web Client.

NOTE: The CAC is a high-security type of smart card used by the military. Its behavior in HP SAM matches that of typical smart cards. HP SAM does not access extended data in the CAC card beyond the certificate needed to determine the user's credentials.

Configuring Session Time Limits for Remote Sessions

HP CCI Session Timers allow administrators to control automatic disconnection or logoff of remote sessions after specified periods of time. The integrated session timers have the ability to control RGS sessions as well as RDP sessions. You can configure time periods for Active Sessions, Active But Idle Sessions, and Disconnected Sessions and you can further configure CPU monitoring for Active But Idle and Disconnected Sessions. This will prevent the disconnect or logoff action if the CPU usage remains above a configurable threshold. This is useful for ensuring that connections are not logged off while important calculations, for example, are occurring.

The session timers consist of two main pieces:

●A utility (HPCCIST.EXE and its support files) that is installed onto the resource along with the HP SAM Registration Service. HPCCIST.EXE is set to start when Windows starts but will only continue running when a policy is set that requires it to run.

●An Active Directory group policy administrative template allowing you to enable the HP CCI Session Timers. The administrative template (HPCCIST.ADM) can be found in the c:\windows\inf folder (assuming you installed Windows into the c:\windows folder.)
