2.
In the Network Security Policy list, if the My Connections folder does not appear, click
Options, point to Secure, and then click Specified Connections.
3. Click (or Edit>Add Connection). A highlighted New Connection entry displays in the
Network Security Policy list.
4. Rename the new connection.
5. In the Connection Security group, take these steps:
a. Click the security level:
• Secure secures communications for this connection. This is the default.
• Non-secure allows communications for this connection to pass through
unsecured, or not encrypted.
• Block prohibits all communications for this connection from passing through.
b. When the Secure security level is selected, the Only Connect Manually check box
appears. By default, the check box is clear; this means that the client establishes and
terminates connections automatically as needed. You can, however, initiate and end secure
sessions manually.
To require the user to manually establish and terminate all secure sessions using this
connection (with the Connect and Disconnect options on the client icon's shortcut menu),
select the Only Connect Manually check box.
If a connection for which the Only Connect Manually check box is selected isn't
manually connected, traffic that would otherwise go over this connection is bypassed, as
though there were no connection configured for this traffic. Traffic that would go over that
connection if it were active is instead compared against the remaining connections in the
Network Security Policy box to determine how to handle it.
6. In the Remote Party Identity and Addressing group, in the ID Type box at the top of the
group, click an identifier for the other party. Boxes become available below the ID Type box
to enter information about the ID type you selected:
