  • Prepopulate user name, password, phone number, and dialing properties for use in your connection profile.

  • Show a particular set of phone numbers based on user selection of connection device.

  • Remove the General tab from the Properties dialog boxes for VPN-only connection profiles.

  • Control whether the Save password check box appears on the Connection Manager user interface.
