Updated 04/11/2021

Introduction
Axema VAKA quick guide is used to put into operation a VAKA system where people are given per-
mission to all doors, always.
Complete documentation is available at info.axema.se.
Installation of free alternatives to Oracle
JAVA
As of Java version 8.211 (2019-04-16), Oracle has introduced a license fee for commercial use of
Java. Older Java versions remain free.
The functionality of the VAKA system is not affected by imposition of license fees or by the new
Java version. More information about Java licenses is available at www.java.com..
For those who want to avoid licensing costs, the following options are recommended, for install-
ation under Windows, MacOS and Linux, respectively.

Log in to VAKA for the first time
A first connection to a new VAKA system involves a procedure in which the language, system
name, username and password for Installer / Administrator must be entered. It is therefore recom-
mended to be prepared for these tasks.
The first time the login information is used, an installer account is created and the installer is asked
to enter their own username and password.
The next time the above login information is used, an administrator account will be created and the
administrator will be asked to enter their own username and password.
