Hi all -
I'd like to know if there is a tool or method to have a script/Powershell/shell script or tool that will interact
with the ASA to simply change a rule from Permit to Deny, as a simple example.
Such a thing would allow me to have non-ASA users be able to instantly implement a desired block of a certain application/port/access-to-external-IP
and so on.
I have several users who are highly non-technical, but who could easily authenticate to a webpage, and click a button that would ultimately change a rule in the ASA.
I'd like to know if this is possible short of hundreds of lines of PHP/Perl/Expect scripting and essentially 'hand-coding' the entire thing from character-mode editing on upwards.
I've seen sites referring to the ancient PIX firewall, where people who are talented programmers hand-coded complex scripts to perform actions on the far older code Cisco once used.
I'm wondering if in 2017, Cisco has something in the new 8.6/9.1 train of code that makes this far easier than it used to be than in past decades.
Thanks Tim
