Symptoms

* When using SecureClient/SecuRemote R56 in Auto Connect mode, the client may create a new connection profile in the following scenario: When establishing communication with VPN domain, the client tries to connect to a certain gateway, according to the topology. If client has no Location Profile defined with required gateway, and there is no Location Profile with Any Gateway set, the client creates a new profile with Any Gateway set. The new profile is created with default settings (policy server on gateway, Office mode enabled, visitor mode turned off, etc.) Security Administrators may see this behavior as problematic, since the Policy Server, Route All Traffic and other connectivity flags are set to default.

Solution
This behavior is by design.

Security Administrators should have at least one read-only Location Profile set with Any Gateway. Starting with SecureClient R60, user is warned before a new profile is automatically created, allowing the user to override the creation.

To disable warning, add the "prompt_for_no_suitable_profile (false)", under global options in the userc.C file.

For reference on editing userc.C file, see solution,
