Preparing to install ADS​

AWS CLI​

Access Decision Service is downloaded via AWS CLI.

  • If you have not already done so, install AWS CLI according to the instructions here.

Downloading the file​

ADM can be downloaded as a distribution zip file, containing a pre-configured Docker-based installation, or as a single jar file.

  1. To have the appropriate access to Axiomatics' downloads, you need to configure the AWS CLI account with the aws configure command, as explained here. For this step, you will need an Access key ID and a Secret access key, which will be provided to you by Axiomatics.

  2. After configuring the AWS CLI account, run one of the following commands in the terminal to download either the ADS distribution zip file or the jar file:

ADS distribution zip file

aws s3api get-object --bucket axiomatics-customer-artifacts --key releases/com/axiomatics/access-decision-service/access-decision-service/1.9.0/access-decision-service-1.9.0.zip access-decision-service-1.9.0.zip

ADS jar file

aws s3api get-object --bucket axiomatics-customer-artifacts --key releases/com/axiomatics/access-decision-service/access-decision-service/1.9.0/access-decision-service-1.9.0.jar access-decision-service-1.9.0.jar

Note: In the ADS documentation, the jar file is always referred to in full, that is, access-decision-service-<version>.jar.

This downloads the selected file to your computer.
