Hi,
I have an ASA-5505 which I have been managing using ASDM from a PC and a Mac.
I just happens that the Mac has not been used in a little while and when I tried to use ASDM on it, it fails.
I've had a trawl through various posts and release notes (after updating various components in the process, incl Java with all the diabling/security updates of late) but am still having the problem and this is where I'm at:
- the ASA runs v8.4(2) and ASDM 7.1(1)52
- release notes state that ASDM 7.1 should work on Java 7 on Windows 7 and MacOS 10.7
- ASDM starts fine on my Windows 7 PC running Java 1.7.0_13
- I am also running Java 1.7.0_13 on MacOS 10.7.5
- on MacOS, ASDM starts, asks for credentials, download/refreshes the cached app... and then crashes with the following exception message:
Java Web Start 10.13.2.20

The root cause of the issue seems to be that a Java class called apple.laf.AquaTableHeaderUI is not found...
Now, I don't know much about Java, but that seems to be an Apple UI related class - I presume that it would be good to use this to give ASDM a more native look and feel, but why on earth is there no fallback? or am I missing something?
Any information or help on the matter will be very welcome... even if it's only to say that you are experiencing the same issue!
