Workstation install of Digital Admin
These instructions are for installing the thick client applications for Adams Update Service and Digital Admin, version 6.1.x or higher.
Before You Begin
HTTPS -Ā Foray ADAMS now requires an HTTPS (SSL/TLS) certificate. This must be installed and configured on the Foray ADAMS server.
Unencrypted Secrets File - The server will have generated both a Secrets.config file and a corresponding Secrets_Unencrypted.config file. This Unencrypted version of the secrets file will be needed to configure any machine that ADAMS applications are installed on.
