After deploying the Microsoft SQL Server service in CryptoHub, you must 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 ]. When prompted, enter the device address and specify the endpoint. The following sections cover deploying a client endpoint and installing the client library files.

​
Deploy client endpoint

Perform the following steps to deploy the 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 values set to the CryptoHub Hostname that auto-populates.
  • Select the Platform where you plan to deploy Microsoft SQL Server.
4
Select [ Add Endpoint ]. The browser should prompt you to download a zip file containing the FXCL EKM module and a configuration file pre-configured to connect to your CryptoHub instance.

​
Install the FXCL EKM module

Perform the following steps to install the module and endpoint on the machine where you installed Microsoft SQL Server.
1
Extract the zip file downloaded in your browser after deploying the service in CryptoHub.
2
Go to the extracted directory, which has the following files:
  • client.p12
  • config.json
  • libfxcl-ekm.dll
3
Create the directory path C:\Program Files\Futurex\fxcl\kmes\ekm as an administrator and move all the files extracted from the zip into that directory.
