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.
