Install and configure Futurex CNG
After deploying the Microsoft Windows Certificate Store service in , you need to 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 ]. This prompts you to enter the device address and specify the endpoint. The following sections provides detailed instructions for deploying a client endpoint and installing the client library files.
Go to the Endpoints menu inside the service you deployed.
In the Manage Endpoints menu, click the [ Add New ] button.
In the Add Endpoint dialog:
- Enter a Name for the endpoint.
- Leave set the Hostname that is auto-populated.
- Select the Platform Microsoft Windows Certificate Store will be deployed on.
Click [ Add Endpoint ]. The browser should prompt the user to download a zip file containing the Futurex CNG module and a configuration file pre-configured to connect to your instance. Follow the steps below to install it on the machine where Microsoft Windows Certificate Store is installed.
Extract the zip file downloaded in your browser after deploying the service in .
The recommended location to store the FXCNG files (i.e., fxcng.dll and fxcng.cfg) is inside C:\Program Files\Futurex\fxcng. This requires you to create the Futurex\fxcng directories as an administrator.
The Futurex CNG module expects to find the FXCNG configuration file (i.e., fxcng.cfg) in the C:\Program Files\Futurex\fxcng directory by default. Alternatively, you can set the FXCNG_CFG environment variable to point to the location of the FXCNG configuration file if you wish to store it in a different location.
