Verify your environment meets these requirements.

​
Supported hardware

  • KMES Series 3, application version 6.3.1.3 or later, with the initial setup completed (including loading a Platform Master Key, setting up the network, etc.), and the Data Protection license enabled.

​
Supported operating systems

  • Windows 10 or later
  • Linux

​
Required access

  • An account on the KMES with administrator permissions to create roles, identities, TLS PKI, and update system settings.
  • Local administrator/root access on all hosts where you install or configure components.

​
Network and firewall

  • Allow outbound TCP port 2001 (default Host API port) from the machine running the Futurex File Encryption Agent to the KMES Series 3, specified by FQDN (for example, kmes.example.com) or CIDR (for example, 10.0.0.0/24).
TLS inspection or SSL proxies can break mutual TLS handshakes. Exempt the KMES FQDN(s) from inspection. Configure the KMES Series 3 with an FQDN so the exemption applies.
