Once you deploy the Ansible service in CryptoHub, set up a client endpoint. An endpoint is a device authorized to access the service. Use the Endpoints menu to view and manage these devices. You can also add new endpoints by selecting [ Add New ]. Unlike the legacy Host-API libraries, the CryptoHub Client Library reaches CryptoHub over the v2 REST API on port 443. The CryptoHub Client Library ships inside the endpoint download: deploying an endpoint provisions the identity, connection details, and TLS material that the library uses to authenticate, along with the library module and its supporting tools.

Select [ Add Endpoint ]. The browser downloads a ZIP containing libcryptohub-pkcs11.so, pkcs11-manager, a preconfigured cryptohub.json, and the referenced TLS files.Keep the download secure. It is a credential for the Ansible service.
To change the endpoint password, go to Identity and Access > Applications & Partitions. Find the deployed application and select Authentication under Manage.
