Workaround

Use the values in the Defender Administration Console, these are the correct values.

TFS429274

When you program mobile software tokens using the Defender Integration Pack for Active Roles, the option to program the tokens in challenge-response mode is available. Selecting this option may produce an error.

Workaround

Defender software tokens for mobile devices currently do not support challenge-response mode. Ignore this option.

TFS431278

When trying to access a site protected by the Defender ISAPI Agent, you may see the following error: "Calling LoadLibraryEx on ISAPI filter failed." This may occur if the web site protected by the ISAPI Agent is a 32-bit site running on a 64-bit IIS.

Workaround

Workaround

Program the Soft Token for Windows in synchronous mode.

TFS439473

The Defender EAP Agent may not integrate with the Soft Token for Windows to retrieve the token response automatically. This issue occurs on a 64-bit operating system.

Workaround

Launch the Soft Token for Windows, and enter the passcode in the VPN client manually.

TFS441655

Users who are directly assigned to an access node cannot be moved to a different OU.

Workaround

Un-assign the user from the access node, move the user, and then assign the user back to the access node. To prevent this issue, assign groups rather than individual users to access nodes.

TFS452765

When Defender EAP Agent is used with a VPN connection, the dialog box to enter the token response does not appear. This issue may occur if EAP Agent is installed on a computer running Windows 10 operating system.

Workaround

Workaround

Use a different supported browser.

TFS504432

When trying to authenticate through the ISAPI Agent the following error is displayed: "Invalid Token Response.", even though you have entered the correct token response.   This occurs when DSS is unavailable.

Workaround

Make sure that the DSS is available and retry the login attempt.

TFS591408

When Web Service API is the only Defender component installed on a computer, it does not work.

Workaround

Install Defender Management Shell or Management Portal component on the same computer.

TFS597986

After upgrading to the latest version of the Web Service API, both the old and the new versions of the component are present in Windows "Installed Programs" list.

Workaround

Only the latest version gets installed. You can ignore the old version that is listed.

TFS598397

When requesting an SMS token through the Self-Service Portal, the Program Token wizard finishes successfully, but the token is not assigned.   This occurs when out-of-band verification is used and the verification link is opened on a device different from the original one.
