Hi All,

Its possible to modify the default policy. There are a couple of things  I got 
to learn abt secure client during this problem - The key to the problem is 
handling the secure client desktop policy.

1. In the Inbound rule we need to put an accept rule from whichever networks 
the connection is required while connected on the local Lan. ( ideally the rule 
would be lan networks--Allusers@any -- any --accept.)  This rule stays in the 
default policy even after the user is disconnected from the policy server, thus 
enabling local lan users to connect to the laptop while the user is in office - 
proving default policy can be tweaked.

2. All encrypt rules inbound & outbound vanish when disconnected from policy 
server.

3. By default there is no deny in the outbound rules , so in case you want 
users not to access any sites except your office lan while connected to policy 
server you need to put a specific deny statement in the outbound rule.

4. If the user modifies his SCV check, then to prevent him from accessing the 
Office Lan , in traditional mode we must right click the client encrypt & check 
the box which says apply rule only afte the Config options are verified.

It's impossible to disable the default security policy however you
may always create a last rule for the outbound rule as alluser@any -
any - any - accept. This will permit all traffic when not connected
to the policy server.

There's no way to make it go away, however the default policy is the
set of
rules that apply to the "allusers@any" group. If you set those
inbound and
outbound rules to "any service-accept", you'll have the same effect.

Unless you have a separate firewall protecting the computers, it's a
really
bad idea though.
