# Running EDP Applications on Confidential Computing Manager

## 1.0 Creating an EDP Application

To create an application in using Fortanix Rust EDP, *refer to* [*Bringing EDP Rust Apps to Confidential Computing Manager*](/v1/docs/bringing-edp-rust-apps-to-confidential-computing-manager-1)*.*

On successful app creation, you will get SIGSTRUCT file of the application (details on the above link). After you get the Enclave SIGSTRUCT of the application build, proceed with the UI flow below.

## 2.0 Running an Application on Fortanix CCM

**Step 1: Signup and Log in to Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager (CCM)**

Perform the following steps:

1. Visit [https://ccm.fortanix.com/](https://ccm.fortanix.com/) and signup.
2. After your account is approved by the administrator, log in by entering your email id and password.

**Figure 4: Add EDP Application**

Perform the following steps:

1. In the EDP application form, fill in the relevant details such as the **Application name** and **Description** (optional).
2. Select a Fortanix CCM group for the application.
3. **Labels**: To control which applications are allowed to run on which nodes, add Labels for applications and nodes in the form of “Key:Value” pairs.
4. Add any certificate using the **Certificate Configuration** section.
5. Enter the certificate domain. You can choose to add multiple certificates using **ADD A CERTIFICATE**. After you configure all the certificates, click **CREATE** to configure the image.

**Figure 5: Add Application Details**

**Step 4: Create an EDP Application Image**

Perform the following steps:

1. On the next screen, click **+ IMAGE**.

**Figure 6: Add Application Image**
2. On the **Add image** form, enter all the required details.
  1. **Image Version** - Enter the valid version number of the image.
  2. **Image Type** - Select the required radio button for image type.
  3. **Enclave Configuration SIGSTRUCT -** Choose one of the options to add the SIGSTRUCT details. The SIGSTRUCT for an enclave is generated when an application is signed. It is used to register the enclave with Fortanix CCM.

**Figure 7: Create an EDP Application Image**
3. Click **CREATE** to create the EDP application image.

**Step 5: Domain and Image Whitelisting**

1. An application whose domain is whitelisted will get a TLS Certificate from Fortanix CCM. Similarly, when an application runs from the converted image, the application will try to contact Fortanix CCM and ask for a TLS Certificate.
2. On the **Tasks** → **Pending** menu item, approve the pending requests to whitelist the domain and image.

**Figure 9: Whitelist the Image**

**Step 6: Running the application**

On a node running the Fortanix CCM Node Agent, start the application.
