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

This is absolutely ridiculous that Cisco hasn't fixed this issue yet.  I refuse to run older, vulnerable versions of Java.  And adding all of my ASA's certs is not an option. 

C'mon, Cisco!  Get it together!
