ASA ASDM and IPS IDM with Oracle java 7u51

[Maxim Zimovets]

Hello, everybody!

As you all probably know on January 14th 2014 Oracle issued CPU with new java 7u51. After installing it I'm not able to loging to ASA via ASDM, not  int to IPS via IDM.

I always have the same error:

On the java console I see a lot of exception devoted to security.DeployManifestChecker. It looks like all applets suffer from one problem -  new security features from Oracle (https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/entry/new_security_requirements_for_rias).

I can also say that all Cisco ASA plugins for SSLVPN don't work too.

I use ASDM version 7.1.4 on my devices.

Downgrade to Java 7u45 resolved the problem.

Is it only my problem? Does anyone expirience the same proble with new Java?

With best regards,

Maxim

Small update to the previous post.

Cisco issued update to ASDM - 7.1(5)100. But the update did not bring expected results. I'm not able to launch ASDM application, even with workaraound proposed in bug CSCum46193. I was only able to launch ASDM  via browser.
