Hi,

I am new to Cisco PIX firewalls and I am trying to use the PDM to configure the PIX 501.

I log to the PIX via a browser (have tried multiple IE, Firefox, Opera) https://192.168.1.1/startup.html I log on the PIX and the browser says it is loading the java app but I get a java error:

exeception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 192.168.1.1:443 connect,resolve)

Any suggestions?

Also, I am intending on using the PIX to enable me to use the Cisco VPN Client to connect to my workplace from home. Could anyone send me a sample config for the PIX?

Thank you very much for your help in advance!!

Walter,

Thank you for your hints regarding PDM and Java. Unfortunately I still have not been able to log into the PDM.

Did a bit more research and have found that this problem is sorted out with the new PDM update, i.e. 3.0.3.

I have also spoken to Cisco Tech Support and I will have to purchase the update. This really isn't very good is it?!

Does anyone have the latest version of PDM that could share it with me?

PDM v3.0 and the newer Java runtimes are not compatible. The release notes for PDM v3.0 indicate only up to Java v1.4.2_03 is supported. The workaround is to DOWNGRADE the Java runtime.

UNINSTALL the newer Java runtime before installing the downgrade.

Here's a couple of links to help you out.

As for me, I got rid of the Sun Java JRE on one Win2K system entirely and went back to M$'s crippled version just to support PDM. If I need a newer version of the JRE I just use my other machines. But the information I provided was provided to me by Cisco some time back with respect to PDM

3.0(4). I don't recall if I bothered to try JRE 1.4.2.
