PIX 501 PDM Access to http interface - errors

[chiproach]

I appear to be having issue connecting to my pix501's PDM where 6 months ago I did not have these issues. I am unsure if this is a Java issue on my PC. I use the following to connect to the firewall: https://192.168.1.1 - enter my credentials and then I receive the following java output (but I do receive a "hostname mismatch" - the hostname in the server security certificate does not match the name of the server).

I confirmed the following settings:

http server enable

http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside

and I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction to resolve my access to the http PDM interface. Thank you! Chip

Downgrade the JAVA Runtime Version 1.5.x to another lower version as this version has some bugs.

I use JDK Version 1.4.1_02 and everything is ok.

Yes, thank you. It did appear to be a java error but I am having a hard time locating an older version of the java developers kit. I will keep looking. Thank you once again!

Thank you... Yes, I found this web site last night and I downloaded about 10 different versions of the JAVA RE SE. The Java 1.4.1_02 version runs well but it appears to start the PDM interface very slow. Thank you for the assistance.
