Cryptographic Service Provider

The ArcotClient.dll file available in the <%SYSTEMDRIVE%>:\Program Files\Arcot Systems\ArcotID Client folder provides the Arcot CSP functionality. This library file is signed by Microsoft as a CSP that is trusted by the Windows operating system.

If the user performing the installation has appropriate permission, then the Arcot CSP is registered by the Arcot Client installer automatically. If the Arcot CSP is not registered during installation, then use the ArcotCSPInstall.exe tool available in the <%SYSTEMDRIVE%>:\Program Files\Arcot Systems\ArcotID Client to register the CSP at a later time.
