[7.080] IPSEC Remote Access Config Files need Improvement

When one downloads the .ini file for the IPSEC client config from the end user portal, it contains entries like these:

[PROFILE1]
Name=REF_SfsTurVVHl
ConnType=1
ConnMedia=8
UseRAS=0
BootProfile=0
ConnMode=0
Timeout=0
MultiLink=0
MlThreshold=0
Gateway=My.gateway.ip.address
IKE-Policy=REF_LhkDujWGDz
IPSec-Policy=REF_LhkDujWGDz
IkeLTSec=000:02:10:00
IPSecLTSec=000:01:00:00
ExchMode=2


Why can't the .ini file contain "plain english (or german, etc.)" entries for the Name, IKE-Policy, and IPSec-Policy entries?  For end users that connect to many different IPSEC gateways (like our support people), manually reconfiguring the connection to reflect a readable site name and policy is annoying (and for end-users, often impossible, due to their skill level)... I find that by doing a DB lookup on teh REF******* entries, there are plain language names available.. why not use them?
