Access Decision Service

Access Decision Service (ADS) is a service that provides externalized dynamic attribute-based authorization decisions to Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs). The PEPs can obtain Permit/Deny decisions on access requests, using policies authored according to industry standards.

Access Decision Service is a standalone application. User access can be secured by TLS.

An open interface provides support for any type of attribute source, making it easy to adapt the service to diverse information architectures.

Standard attribute connectors with support for LDAP as well as SQL-based attribute sources are available as separate downloads.
