After deploying the Microsoft ADCS service in CryptoHub, you need to deploy a client endpoint. Endpoints refer to devices that are authorized to access this service. In Endpoints menu, you can view and filter details about existing endpoints. You can also add new endpoints by selecting [ Add New ]. This prompts you to enter the device address and specify the endpoint. Perform the following steps to deploy a client endpoint and install the client library files:

​
Deploy client endpoint

1
Go to the Endpoints menu inside the service you deployed.
2
In the Manage Endpoints menu, select [ Add New ].
3
In the Add Endpoint dialog:
  • Enter a Name for the endpoint.
  • Leave the value set the CryptoHub Hostname that auto-populates.
  • Select the Platform Microsoft ADCS for deployment.
4
Select [ Add Endpoint ].The browser should prompt the user to download a zip file containing the FXCL CNG module and a configuration file pre-configured to connect to your CryptoHub instance.Perform the steps in the next section to install it on the machine where you installed Microsoft ADCS.

​
Install FXCL CNG

Perform the following steps to install the FXCL CNG module:
1
Extract the zip file downloaded in your browser after deploying the service in CryptoHub.
2
Go to the extracted directory, which contains the following files:
  • client.p12
  • CNGInstallUtil.exe
  • config.json
  • InstallCNG.bat
  • libfxcl-cng.dll
  • UninstallCNG.bat
3
Run the InstallCNG.bat file to install FXCL CNG. If the installation fails, create the directory path C:\Program Files\Futurex\fxcl\kmes\cng as an administrator and move all the files extracted from the zip into that directory.

​
Test the connection

Perform the following steps to test the connection between FXCL CNG and the CryptoHub:
1
Open either PowerShell or Command Prompt.
2
Run the following certutil command to test the connection between FXCL CNG and the CryptoHub.
Text
certutil -csptest -csp "Futurex FXCL KMES CNG" RSA
If the connection is successful, you see the following message in the last line of the command output:
Text
CertUtil: -csptest command completed successfully.
If the command fails, check the FXCL CNG log (such as C:\Program Files\Futurex\fxcl\kmes\cng\fxcl.log) for details about the error.
