ASDM-IDM Unable to launch device manager

[licensing]

Hi,

I am having trouble trying to log into my IPS 4260 sensor using ASDM-IDM. When I try to login I get the error message "Unable to launch device manager". When I look in the Java console I see a few of these messages:

"javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake"

I do have access to the sensor over SSH and I have done a tls generate-key. I am also able to access the sensor using IPS Manager Express, just not ASDM-IDM. The ASDM-IDM application I am using does work for my ASA 5525 and 5520s.

Does anyone know why I might be getting this error message?

The only way I was able to get a CIMC to work just recently was to explicitly launch it using Java 1.7. some command line trickery sufficed for that as follows (all one line at the command prompt):

C:\Users\marvin.rhoads>C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Java\jre1.7.0_21\bin\javaws C:\Users\marvin.rhoads\Downloads\viewer.jnlp(10.197.122.87@0@1416414750320)

ASDM on the other hand works fine with my latest patches Java 1.8. I do use the latest ASDM launcher (1.5(78), used to launch various ASDM versions on multiple ASAs).
