Click OK to close the dialog box.
Now when you connect through the configured VPN connection on the client computer, a Defender dialog box opens prompting you to type the response provided by your token.

Authenticating via EAP Agent

When you attempt to access information via your VPN, the Defender authentication dialog box is displayed:
In the Response field, type the response displayed on your token. Select OK. If authentication is successful, you are allowed to access the network.

Securing Web sites

You can use Defender to secure access to websites hosted on Microsoft Web Server (IIS). For that you need to use the Defender component called the ISAPI Agent.
The ISAPI Agent acts as an ISAPI filter and requires users to authenticate via Defender in order to get access to the websites hosted on IIS.
