ASDM fails to load on MacOSX 10.7 running Java version 1.6.0_33

[femi.agboade]

Hi,

So I have an ASA 5510 running ASDM 6.4(9) and Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.4(4)1.

I am trying to configure for the first time and I am accessing the ASA via its Management Interface.

I am successfully able to connect to the device and get to the Cisco ASDM 6.4(9) page.

When I try to run the startup wizard, a couple of prompts displays up to the point where the java applet runs and aks me to enter my IP, username and password. As it is a new system, password and username is blank so I enter and I get a message saying "loading software from cache" which later changes to "software Update completed" and then nothing happens.

I am running MacOSX 10.7 Lion, Java version 1.6.0_33.

I did try and run this on a Windows system and i was able to load the interface.

Does anyone have any advice as to what to tweak or change with the java software on my Mac as I imagine this may be the problem?

Regards,

Femi

For some strange reason, i am also unable to launch from my web browser. When i get to the point of putting in my username and password, the same behaviour as above is observed. I get the error from the java page and the login just freezes.

Please help as I have to make do with a VM running XP which tends to slow down my Mac.

Regards,

Femi

I'm having the same or similar issue, I'm afriad. I'm also looking for an answer. The launcher quits after entering the login details.

I don't have easy access to a Windows machine, and this is really holding me up.
