# Before you start

> Lists environment and system requirements before integrating Apache HTTP Server with CryptoHub.

Verify your environment meets these requirements.

## Supported hardware

* CryptoHub, `7.0.3.x` or later.

## Supported operating systems

* Linux
* Windows

## Required access

* An account on the CryptoHub with administrator permissions to deploy new services.
* Local administrator/root access on the computer where Apache HTTP Server is installed.

## Network and firewall

* Allow outbound TCP port **2001**(default Host API port) from the computer running Apache HTTP Server to the CryptoHub, specified by FQDN (for example, `cryptohub.example.com`) or CIDR (for example, `10.0.0.0/24`).

<Warning>
  TLS inspection or SSL proxies can break mutual TLS handshakes. Exempt the CryptoHub FQDN(s) from inspection. Configure the CryptoHub with a FQDN so the exemption applies.
</Warning>

## Other

* OpenSSL
* Apache HTTP Server (version 2.4.42 or later for proper **mod\_ssl** support)
* `mod_ssl` (installed and enabled in Apache)
