Login History not available ASA version 9.8(1)

[Lee Dress]

Since I upgraded my ASA devices to 9.8(1) I get a new popup when I login to the devices

"Login History is not available for the logged in user."

is there a way to:

1) enable Login History or

2) disable the popup.

I've looked around for documentation about the issue but haven't found an answer.

Thank you.

Hi.
I have a ASA 5508-X and i updated to 9.8.2, and have same errors message as you.
When i go to: Monitoring > Logging > Real-Time Viewer and click on View it does nothing, doesn't appear any window.

Unfortunately, Real-time log viewing is not working and is a known bug in the 7.8.2 release. You will need to downgrade ASDM to 7.8.1.50 until they release an updated version of ASDM.

My ASAv running 9.8(1.7) and ASDM 7.8(1.150) shows the popup fine and populates it accurately. It should do so by default, assuming you have a current ASDM as well as ASA.

Details on the feature are in the ASDM online help guide thus:

Enable and View the Login History

By default, the login history is saved for 90 days. You can disable this feature or change the duration, up to 365 days.

Before You Begin

• The login history is only saved per unit; in failover and clustering environments, each unit maintains its own login history only.

• Login history data is not maintained over reloads.

• This feature applies to usernames in the local database or from a AAA server when you enable local AAA authentication for one or more of the CLI management methods (SSH, Telnet, serial console). ASDM logins are not saved in the history.

Procedure

---

Step 1	Choose Configuration > Device Management > Users/AAA > Login History.
Step 2	Check the Configure login history reporting for administrators check box. This feature is enabled by default.
Step 3	Set the Duration between 1 and 365 days. The default is 90.
Step 4	To view the login history, from any ASDM screen you can click on the Login History icon in the bottom Status bar: The login history for all users displays in a dialog box.

(This feature applies to usernames in the local database or from a AAA server when you enable local AAA authentication for one or more of the CLI management methods (SSH, Telnet, serial console).)

I don't use AAA Authentication, so I don't need this history. 

is there a way to disable the popup?

[Marvin Rhoads · Accepted solution]

Unchecking the dialog box referred to will stop the popup . It sends the command "no aaa authentication login-history" under the covers if you like the cli for that sort of thing.

I just checked mine and that does indeed make it not popup when launching into ASDM

Confirmed.

Thank you.
