Defender EAP Agent

A VPN is an extension of a private network that encompasses links across shared or public networks like the Internet. VPN connections leverage the IP connectivity of the Internet using a combination of tunneling and encryption to securely connect two remote points, such as a remote worker and their office base.
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a general protocol for authentication that also supports multiple authentication methods, such as Kerberos, token cards, one-time passwords, certificates, public key authentication, and smart cards.
Defender utilizes the EAP protocol to integrate its two-factor authentication into the existing user authentication process. The Defender EAP Agent supports Microsoft Remote Access clients and servers for both dial-up and VPN (PPTP and L2TP/IPSec) (implemented as an extension to PPP).
The Defender EAP Agent must be installed on the VPN server and VPN client computer.

To benefit from using two-factor authentication over the EAP protocol, you need to install the Defender EAP Agent on the Network Policy Server and on the VPN client computer. Then, you need to configure the Network Policy Server and the VPN client computer for working with the Defender EAP Agent.
