Versions:
Check2Decision is a command-line utility published by Aserto that streamlines the migration of access-control tests by translating directory check assertions into authorizer check_decision assertions. Designed for developers and DevOps engineers who manage policy-as-code pipelines, the tool parses existing assertion files that target a directory service and rewrites them so they can be executed against an Aserto authorizer endpoint without manual editing. This conversion preserves the original intent of each test while aligning it with the OPCR (Open Policy Container Registry) schema expected by the authorizer, thereby eliminating repetitive hand-coding when an application’s authorization layer is upgraded from a simple directory check to a full-fledged decision engine. Typical use cases include batch modernization of CI regression suites, refactoring microservices that previously relied on coarse-grained directory membership, and preparing evaluation artifacts for inclusion in an auditable policy repository. The software falls under the Software Development category, specifically within sub-tags for authorization, policy testing, and DevOps automation. The current release, version 0.1.0, is also the first and only version published to date, offering a single self-contained executable that accepts glob patterns for input files and emits transformed assertions to stdout or an optional output directory. Because the utility is distributed as a native Windows binary, it can be dropped into existing PowerShell or CMD scripts with no additional runtime dependencies. Check2Decision is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
