ASDM is unable to read the configuration from the PIX

[p.schumacher]

I get this message when trying to run ASDM with a red-only account, which has the privilege level 5. What commands does ASDM perform to read the PIX's config?

Hello,

Privilege level 5 should allow you to read the config. Try rechecking it.

The user is already on privilege Level 5

We found out that it is a bug in the PIX version 7.1(2) and will be solved in the 7.2 release coming soon.

The workaround is to lower the privilege level for the command write from 15 to 5 as follows:

ASDM section command privilege setup:

CLI command: write

Mode: exec

Variant: cmd

Privilege: 5
