Hi there,

That is an incredibly old version of ASA OS, as such it is not compatible with the ASDM version you have chosen.

The compatibility matrix does not list your version of ASA OS, in fact it is not available for download.

My guess is you need ASDM v5.x, maybe you can get it via TAC. Maybe you could get it from other online sources, but be careful as there is no way to verify its MD5 hash via the Cisco website.

I'd be tempted to upgrade your ASA to resolve the issue. I suggest something pre v8.3, as you will not need to worry about the NAT syntax changes which were made in post 8.3 versions.

Better still, v9.1.x but you will need to upgrade the amount of RAM in your ASA to 512MB.

cheers,

Seb.
