Before you start

Verify your environment meets these requirements.

​

Supported hardware

• CryptoHub, 7.0.3.x or later.

​

Supported operating systems

The integration runs over HTTPS against the CryptoHub REST API, so it places no operating system requirement on the AppViewX host beyond what AppViewX itself requires. No Futurex client library is installed on the AppViewX host.

​

Supported software

This integration applies to AppViewX AVX ONE certificate lifecycle management — the CERT+ / CLM module and its Automation Workflow engine. It relies on capabilities that are standard across current AVX ONE and AppViewX CERT+ releases (SaaS or self-managed): certificate lifecycle management, visual automation workflows, and outbound REST/HTTP connector calls for external key generation. No specific minimum AppViewX version is required.

​

Required software

• AppViewX, with permission to configure certificate enrollment and to store credentials in its vault.
• A certificate authority reachable from AppViewX, such as Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services or a public certificate authority.
• OpenSSL, to inspect the generated certificate signing request during validation.

​

Required access

• An account on the CryptoHub with administrator permissions to deploy services and create endpoints, create key groups, and configure HSM clusters.
• An account on AppViewX with permissions to configure certificate enrollment and to write credentials to the vault.
• An account on the certificate authority, or an existing AppViewX certificate authority connection, with permission to submit enrollment requests.

​

CryptoHub objects

Create the following before you configure AppViewX. Prepare CryptoHub covers each one.

• The AppViewX service deployed in CryptoHub, with an endpoint. The endpoint provides the identity and credentials AppViewX authenticates with, its permissions, and its Host API command authorization.
• A key group to hold the generated key pairs.

​

Network and firewall

• Allow outbound HTTPS from the AppViewX host to the CryptoHub REST API, specified by FQDN (for example, cryptohub.example.com) or CIDR (for example, 10.0.0.0/24).
• Allow outbound access from AppViewX to your certificate authority.
• Ensure DNS resolution is available for the CryptoHub address from the AppViewX host.

​

Key algorithm

This guide documents RSA key generation. Use a modulus size your certificate authority accepts, such as 2048 or 4096, and confirm the size satisfies the certificate template or issuance policy you enroll against.
