https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/cisco-asa-9-1-api-scripting-language-interaction/m-p/2943218#M148152 <P>Hi all -</P> <P>I'd like to know if there is a tool or method &nbsp;to have a script/Powershell/shell script or tool that will&nbsp;interact&nbsp;</P> <P>with the ASA to simply change a rule from Permit to Deny, as a simple example.</P> <P>Such a thing would allow me to have non-ASA users be able to instantly implement a desired block of a certain application/port/access-to-external-IP</P> <P>and so on.</P> <P>I have several users who are highly non-technical, but who could easily authenticate to a webpage, and click a button that would ultimately&nbsp;change a rule in the ASA.</P> <P>I'd like to know if this is possible short of hundreds of lines of PHP/Perl/Expect scripting and essentially 'hand-coding' the entire thing from character-mode editing on upwards.</P> <P>I've seen sites referring to the ancient PIX firewall, &nbsp;where people who are talented programmers hand-coded complex scripts to perform actions on the far older code Cisco once used.</P> <P>I'm wondering if in 2017, Cisco has something in the new 8.6/9.1 train of code that makes this far easier than it used to be than in past decades.</P> <P>Thanks Tim</P> <P></P> <P></P> <P></P> Tue, 12 Mar 2019 08:43:12 GMT treimers1 2019-03-12T08:43:12Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/cisco-asa-9-1-api-scripting-language-interaction/m-p/2943218#M148152 Does the ASA support interaction with an API or scripting language?
