# Quick Reference

> Concise summary of prerequisites and high-level steps for the integration.

This section offers a quick reference to key prerequisites and high-level implementation steps. For basic testing procedures for the integration, see

## Pre-implementation

* Install dependencies:
  * Curity Identity Server
  * Oracle Java JDK (`17` or `21`)
* Admin privileges on KMES Series 3

## Implementation

* Install Futurex PKCS #11 module (**FXPKCS11**)
* Configure KMES Series 3
  * Create a new application partition (KMES Series 3 role)
  * Create a new identity and give it access to the newly created application partition
  * Enable necessary Host API commands
  * Configure TLS with server-side authentication
* Edit FXPKCS11 configuration file
* Configure JAVA\_HOME and PATH environment variables
* Configure SunPKCS11 to use Futurex PKCS11 module
* Create PKI container and certificate with key pair
  * Create PKI container
  * Generate certificate and key pair
  * Create an approval group
  * Add issuance policy to certificate
  * Verify generated certificate and private key is in Java Keystore
* Configure Curity with KMES
  * Start Curity with HSM specific flags
  * Enable HSM in Curity Admin UI
  * Configure Curity TLS settings to use the KMES stored key
  * Assign the KMES key to a Curity runtime node

## Post-implementation

* Validate success by checking Curity logs for successful KMES connection
* Test the connection by checking the TLS certificate of the runtime node
