After deploying the Microsoft SignTool service in CryptoHub, you need to deploy a client endpoint. Endpoints refer to devices that are authorized to access this service. In the 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 tasks to deploy a client endpoint and install the client library files:

​
Deploy client endpoint

Perform the following steps to deploy a 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 to the CryptoHub Hostname that auto-populates.
  • Select the Platform on which to deploy Microsoft SignTool.
4
Select [ Add Endpoint ].
The browser should prompt the user to download a zip file containing the Futurex CNG module and a configuration file pre-configured to connect to your CryptoHub instance.

​
Install Futurex CNG (FXCNG)

Follow the following steps to install the downloaded zip file on the machine where you installed Microsoft SignTool.

​
Install the FXCNG module in Windows

Perform the following steps to install the FXCNG module in Windows:
1
Extract the zip file downloaded in your browser after deploying the service in CryptoHub.
2
The recommended location to store the FXCNG files (fxcng.dll and fxcng.cfg) is inside C:\Program Files\Futurex\fxcng. This requires you to create the Futurex\fxcng directories as an administrator.
3
The Futurex CNG module expects to find the FXCNG configuration file (fxcng.cfg) in the C:\Program Files\Futurex\fxcng directory by default. Alternatively, you can set the FXCNG_CFG environment variable to point to the location of the FXCNG configuration file if you wish to store it in a different location.
