Selecting that checkbox is important since it makes the System built-in identity the owner of the VPN connection and not the user Karen who is configuring the connection on the computer, and that will allow other users of the computer to perform VPN SSO logon.
And if the user of the computer will be using his smart card for logging in, be sure to select the Use A Smart Card checkbox as well.
