Not sure I see the connection here...  the API to disable the lock screen is
not supported when a device admin is requiring a lock screen, in which case
there is no way for the user to go around this except to disable that device
admin, and thus lose all access to whatever corp server the admin is
associated with.  And if their preference is to be able to not have a lock
screen at the expense of not having their corp server access...  well, that
is fine for all.
