Creating the default.rcf File
You can create your custom default.rcf file from any text editor, such as Windows Notepad.
default.rcf File Tag Descriptions
Tag that you do not explicitly list in the default.rcf are set to the default setting (which is the same behavior
as when you configure a New VPN Connection within the Global VPN Client manually). The default setting
for each tag is highlighted in bracketed bold text, like [default].
<SW_Client_Policy version =”9.0”>
<Connections> Defines the connection profiles in the default.rcf configuration file. There is no hard limit
defined on the number of connection profiles allowed.
<Connection name = connection name> Provides a name for the VPN connection that appears in the
Global VPN Client window.
<Description> description text</Description> Provides a description for each
connection profile that appears when the user moves the mouse pointer over the VPN Policy in
the Global VPN Client window. The maximum number of characters for the <Description> tag is
1023.
