After you deploy the Microsoft AD RMS service in CryptoHub, set up a client endpoint. An endpoint is a device authorized to access the service. Use the Endpoints menu to view and manage these devices. You can also add new endpoints by selecting [ Add New ]. This action prompts you to enter the device address and specify the endpoint. This section provides detailed instructions for 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 value set to the CryptoHub Hostname that is auto-populated.
  • Select the Platform on which to deploy Microsoft AD RMS.
4
Select [ Add Endpoint ]. The browser should prompt you to download a zip file containing the Futurex CSP module and a configuration file pre-configured to connect to your CryptoHub instance.

​
Install the Futurex CSP (FXCSP) module in Windows

Perform the following steps to install it on the machine where you installed Microsoft AD RMS:
1
Extract the Endpoint zip file downloaded from CryptoHub. The directory contains the following files:
ca-chain.pemCA certificate bundle
client-cert.pemClient TLS certificate
client.p12Full Client PKI in encrypted PKCS #12 format (contains the CA chain, client certificate, and client private key)
fxcsp.cfgConfiguration file for the FXCSP module, preconfigured to connect to the CryptoHub.
fxcsprsa.dllFuturex CSP module
install.batScript file used to install Futurex CSP
install.reg Script file used to set Futurex CSP registry values
uninstall.batScript file used to uninstall Futurex CSP
uninstall.regScript file used to remove Futurex CSP registry values
2
Open PowerShell as administrator and go to the directory containing the above FXCSP files.
3
Run .\install.bat and .\install.reg.
The default location for the FXCSP logs is in the C:\Program Files\Futurex\fxcsp directory. You can customize this location by modifying the <LOG-FILE> definition in the FXCSP configuration file (fxcsp.cfg).
