ASA5505, AIP-SSC5, Java 7.x

f2l

Level 1

After upgrading to Java 7.5, I found that ASDM works fine managing the ASA5505 firewall, but trying to access the AIP-SSC5 module is not possible.  I have had to revert back to Java 6 to have full control.

Does anyone know how to get Java 7 to work with ASDM and also allow access to the AIP-SSC5 module?

What version of ASDM are you currently running?  If you browse to your SSC's management IP using the sample URL below, are you able to launch IDM directly from your browser?

https://10.10.10.10

I am running:-

ASA version 8.4(4)1

ASDM version 6.4(9)

IPS version 6.2(4)E4

When I try to access the sensor from within ASDM the following error occurs:

"Error connecting to sensor. Error loading sensor."

followed by...

"Access denied by ASM. ASDM will now exit."

If I try to access the sensor directly, as per your suggestion(https://10.10.10.10), the following error is displayed...

"Unable to launch device manager from https://10.10.10.10".

This is more than likely due to Java 7 disabling the SSL 2.0 client hello by default.  Sensors running code prior to 7.1.4 require this feature for IDM access.  On the PC with Java 7 installed, navigate to

Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Security > General and check the box next to "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format".  Test again and then report back if you continue to see errors.

I enabled SSL 2.0 and connecting to the sensor using IDM works fine.

However, connecting to the sensor using ASDM-IDM still returns the same error.  Followed be an

immediate exit.

Hello Phillip,

I worked with a customer two weeks ago on the same exact issue, same exact platafform.

So please dowgrade to java version!

If running 7 do a downgrade to version 6.33  and it should work

You can download it from here:

Yup faced the same problem with Java 7. Not able to access IPS module on the ASA. Cisco should come up with some fix for this issue, as Java 7 has fixed lot of security vulnerabilities and continued use of Java 6 is unsafe.

There is an updated image for the SSC-5 that works better with Java 7.x.  Version 6.2(5)E4

Download from here...

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem.

My device is Cisco ASA 5520 with AIP SSM-10.

I can use ASDM to manage ASA 5520 but cannot login to IPS (in IPS or Intrusion Prevension tab). It show me the error "Error connecting sensor. Error loading sensor".

I try to reset, reload and unplug/plug the module but it don't work.

This my ASA configuration:
