Pix 506e - Accessing PDM through Windows Server 2003

tcombs · ‎06-28-2007

I'm trying to access the PDM (v.3.0) through windows 2003 server, IE browser 7.0.

When I try to access the PDM, I get the login prompts, then it sits on the screen that says, "Loading PIX Device Manager, Please wait....." with an hour glass.

Can anyone tell me if there is a security setting that is stopping the PDM from loading?

Also, I can access the 506e using hyper terminal from this server. I can also access the PDM from other users PC's on the same network. This makes me believe the issue is a security setting on the Windows 2003 Server.

Please help!

Thanks.

Try disabling popup blocker.

Thanks for your quick response.

Pop-up blocker is already disabled. I thought the same thing too, but it still didn't help.

Any other suggestions?

Java is installed? Check the version.

Yes, Java is installed. Java 6 , jre 1.6.0_01

Error message in Java window is:

Exceptioni:java.security.AccessControlException:Accessdenied (java.util.PropertyPermissionjava.versionread).

Still not working.

I uninstalled Java 6, downloaded Version 5, build 10 and I got the same result.

I found this link.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps4077/products_field_notice09186a008046c805.shtml.

It discusses the issue and suggests upgrading the PDM. I'm trying that now. To Save me time, can you tell me how to upgrade the PDM using Hyperterminal?

The link I posted above resolved the issue.

Thanks for your help!
